An Introduction to the Teton Range
The Teton Range is a mountain range in the western United States, located in northwestern Wyoming. The range is sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Tetons.

The Teton Range is notable for containing the tallest mountain in Wyoming and three of the five tallest mountains in Idaho. Grand Teton, at 13,775 feet (4,198 m), is not only the highest point in Wyoming but also dominates the southern end of Yellowstone National Park. Not far away, but visible from much of Eastern Idaho due to its height of 12,928 feet (3,934 m), is Mount Ellen. To their northeast are Mount Moran (12,605 feet or 3,838 m) and Buck Mountain (11,938 feet or 3,651 m), which are both located inside Grand Teton National Park.
