Teton Range

Grand's mountain chain

The Teton Range is a mountain range in northwestern Wyoming, rising abruptly from the valley floor without foothills—a dramatic wall of peaks.

Grand Teton, the highest at nearly 14,000 feet, anchors the range.

The Tetons form the heart of Grand Teton National Park and are among the most photographed mountains in North America: We watched the sun rise over the Tetons.
