Formed by earthquakes along the Teton Fault, the Teton Range at the center of Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming houses some of North America's youngest mountains, and they're still growing up. The Teton's sharp ridges speak of their age, as time has yet to dull their peaks with wind, water, and ice. The Tetons soar above the surrounding plains, sticking out from the surrounding mountains in the western states as something to be envied. We certainly spent a good amount of time getting to know those mountains during our time backpacking in the park, but we still only scratched the surface. Grand Teton, I can't wait till we meet again.
