As Theodore Roosevelt said once while touring the Tetons, "This is how mountains are supposed to look."
The Grand Teton in Grand Teton National Park, rises to 13,770 feet towering more than a mile above the valley of Jackson Hole. Twelve Teton peaks reach above 12,000 feet and support a dozen mountain glaciers. The west side of the range slopes gently, showing the angle of tilt of the Earth's crust. The Teton Range is the youngest range in the Rockies and displays some of North America's oldest rocks.
Almost all outdoor activities are popular at Grand Teton. In summer you can hike, walk, view wildlife, take photographs, backpack, camp, climb, fish, swim, boat, float, canoe, and bike. In winter, skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling are popular activities.
