20-Sep 6 Grand Teton - 9-15

Coming into Grand Teton

The road from the Yellowstone south exit leads onto the John D Rockefeller highway you come to this sign which lays out the road which rides parallel to the mountain range.

The Range

We saw a bunch of cars stopped and of course joined them. We got this shot which lays out many of the next peaks (see next pic).

The range identified

The best I can do - thank you PeakVisor!! An amazing app.

The Range with Grand Teton

Looking to the left you get a cloudy glimpse of Grand Teton

Mount Moran

From PeakVisor: Mount Moran (12,605 feet (3,842 m)) is a mountain in Grand Teton National Park of western Wyoming, USA. The mountain is named for Thomas Moran, an American western frontier landscape artist. Mount Moran dominates the northern section of the Teton Range rising 6,000 feet (1,800 m) above Jackson Lake. Several active glaciers exist on the mountain with Skillet Glacier plainly visible on the monolithic east face. Like the Middle Teton in the same range, Mount Moran's face is marked by a distinctive basalt intrusion known as the Black Dike.

Mount Moran - Skittle Glacier

Narrow handle, wide base gives the name. Of course much smaller than it used to be thanks to climate change.

Mount Moran - different angle

I think this was taken from Jenny Lake

Close up of Mount Moran

Grand Teton Glacier

I believe the larger peak to be Grand Teton and the glacier on the northern side.

Grand Teton and Tweewinot

The largest peak to the left of the glacier is Grand Teton. Next to that is Tweewinot, I believe. Unclear about the rest.

Grand Teton - close up

I think, based on the glacier being to the right.
