In Grand Teton National Park, there is a dirt/rocky/long road that leads down to the Snake River, on its West Bank. It offers numerous vistas of the Snake from a shelf above it. Locally and historically, it is called the RKO Road, but the Rangers in the Visitor's Center of GTNP may only know it as the River Road. You should have a high-clearance, 4WD vehicle and about 2 hours to drive this road. I believe that RKO built this road to film "The Big Sky" river scenes. A drive gives you possible sightings of elk, bison, pronghorn, mule deer, bear (north end), and birds of prey hunting along the Snake.
