This kind of view is vast and epic, akin in feeling to the Romantic artists such as Joseph Turner and the Hudson River painters such as Bierstadt and Moran. 19th Century writers, explorers, mountaineers and surveyors also had this vast and epic concept of the land.

Alpenglow on the South Teton

This view is from the Petzoldt Caves above Garnet Canyon. It’s a campsite used by Paul Petzoldt when he was guiding routes in the 1920s and 1930s. It’s an airy perch, but sheltered by some of the last trees you’ll see on the trail.

Falling Ice Glacier, Mt Moran

A view of the Falling Ice glacier taken from the CMC Route. Mount Moran dominates the northern end of the Teton Range, and you can usually find a climbing route without the normal hustle and bustle of the tourist season.

Grand Teton, Emerging From Clouds

The Grand Teton emerging from clouds. The Grand may seem benign in the warm summer months, but the range can turn hostile very quickly.

View From the Summit of the Grand

View from the Summit of the Grand Teton

You cannot stay on the summit forever; You have to come down again… So why bother in the first place? Just this: what is above knows what is below; But what is below does not know what is above.

Teewinot, the Grand, and Mt Owen form what is known as the Cathedral Group. Valhalla Canyon rises out of Cascade Canyon and can be ascended by crossing the creek and bushwhacking through the undergrowth.

Cascade Canyon, with Mount Owen

Following Cascade Creek into the heart of the Tetons there are views reminiscent of the Swiss Alps; the greenery, the stream, the upward sweep to the lofty summits above. In this painting Mount Owen dominates and the Grand is seen to the left of it.
