Grand Teton
Teton Range's highest
Grand Teton is the highest peak in the Teton Range of the Rocky Mountains, rising sharply in northwestern Wyoming.
The mountain and surrounding area form Grand Teton National Park, known for dramatic alpine scenery.
The name is French for "large breast," reportedly given by French-Canadian trappers.
