Todays Image • Teton Mountains

Grand Teton National Park is located in the northwestern Wyoming. The park covers an area of 310,000 acres centered on the Teton Range, a rugged 40-mile-long mountain range. In 1929, the park was established as a national park, and since then, it has become a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

The Teton Range was created by a localized geological uplift and faulting. Around 9 million years ago, the Earth’s crust began to stretch and thin in the region, causing the land to rise and form mountains. The Teton Fault, which runs along the eastern base of the range, is responsible for the steep eastern face of the mountains. Glaciers also played a significant role in shaping the range, carving out deep valleys and leaving behind moraines and other glacial features.
