The Teton Range extends for 50 miles. The highest peak at 13,770 feet is Grand Teton. Today we traveled north and went to Jackson Lake. The prominent mountain peak here is Mount Moran at 12,605 feet. This peak is named after artist Thomas Moran. He was along on the 1860 expedition through Jackson Valley (Hole). We are starting to be able to identify the peaks by name now!
