Grand Teton, Mountain summit in Teton Range, Wyoming, United States
The Grand Teton rises 13,775 feet above sea level with steep granite walls and a distinctive pyramid shape that dominates the Teton Range landscape.
William Owen and his team completed the first documented ascent of Grand Teton in 1898, establishing the now-classic Owen-Spalding climbing route.
Native American tribes of the region, including the Shoshone, considered the Teton Range sacred mountains and gathered medicinal plants from its slopes.
Climbing permits and equipment rentals are available at the Jenny Lake Ranger Station, where mountaineers must register before attempting the summit.
Bill Briggs executed the first complete ski descent of Grand Teton in 1971, navigating the East Face and Stettner Couloir in spring conditions.
