Teton Range
|
Grand Teton National Park is a United States National Park located in northwestern Wyoming, south of Yellowstone National Park. The park is named after the Grand Teton, which, at 13,770 feet (4,197 m), is the tallest mountain in the Teton Range.
Part of the Rocky Mountains, the north-south-trending Teton Range rises from the floor of Jackson Hole without any foothills along a 40 miles (64 km) long by 7 to 9 miles (11 to 14 km) wide active fault-block mountain front system. In addition to 13,770 ft (4,200 m) high Grand Teton, another eight peaks are over 12,000 ft (3,700 m) above sea level. Seven of these peaks between Avalanche and Cascade canyons make up the often-photographed Cathedral Group.
