Grand Teton National Park |
The youngest of the Rocky Mountains, the Teton Range is a spectacular sight. Enhanced by glaciers, deep canyons, snowfields, and lakes, the range shoots up suddenly, with no foothills around it. The three Tetons—South, Middle, and Grand— lure casual tourists and serious climbers alike, although deep snow stays on the peaks for more than half the year. Included in the park is the valley of Jackson Hole, home to deer and elk. Many other animals, including moose, beavers, and waterfowl, live along the wetlands of the Snake River.
