Description
This is the peak of the Grand Teton. Per Wikipedia, Grand Teton, at 13,775 feet (4,199 m), is the highest point of the Teton Range, and the second highest peak in the state of Wyoming after Gannett Peak. The Teton Range is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains, which extend from southern Alaska to northern New Mexico. Grand Teton's name was first recorded as Mount Hayden by the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition of 1870. By 1931, the name Grand Teton Peak was in such common usage that it was recognized by the USGS Board on Geographic Names. Another shift in usage led the Board to shorten the name on maps to Grand Teton in 1970.
