Grand Teton

The most dramatic mountain front in the American West

The Teton Range rises abruptly from the valley floor of Jackson Hole without foothills to soften the view — the most dramatic mountain front in North America. The Snake River winds through sagebrush flats in the foreground, offering a composition repeated in countless iconic photographs. Moose, elk, and trumpeter swans share the wetlands at the range's base in the golden light of early morning.
