Mount Owen, Mountain summit in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, US

Mount Owen is the second highest peak in the Teton Range, located within Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. The summit rises to approximately 3,940 meters and sits as part of a dramatic ridge system that forms the spine of the park.

The peak is named after William O. Owen, who organized the first recorded ascent of Grand Teton in 1898. The mountain itself was first summited in 1930, marking a later milestone in the climbing history of the Teton Range.

Mount Owen belongs to the Cathedral Group, the cluster of high peaks in the central Teton Range that includes Grand Teton and Teewinot. The group's name comes from the spire-like profiles these summits present from the valley. The peak is named for William O. Owen, organizer of the first documented ascent of Grand Teton in 1898.

Climbers typically start from the Lupine Meadows Trailhead, which provides access to the main approach route. The trail passes through meadows and steep switchbacks before reaching the saddle between nearby peaks, where rock scrambling becomes the primary challenge.

Mount Owen was one of the last major Teton peaks to be climbed: after failed attempts in 1927 and 1928, the first ascent came in 1930. Its routes now range from Class 5.1 to 5.10, and Valhalla Canyon cuts into the western slopes.
