Summer Sunset on Grand Teton Range
Willow Flats Overlook is just south of Jackson Lake Lodge and offers a wonderful panoramic view of the northern Teton Range from the Cathedral Group up to Mount Moran.
In this 4-image panorama, the major named peaks from left to right are: Albright Peak, Static Peak, Buck Mountain, Shadow Peak, Nez Perce, Cloudveil Dome, Teewinot Mountain (original Shoshone name for the Grand Tetons), Grand Teton, Symmetry Spire, Mount St John, Rockchuck Peak, and Mount Moran.
Although comprised of some of the oldest rock on earth, the Teton Range is some of the youngest mountains, continuing to grow as the tectonic plates continue to grind together. Clearly, their grandeur was worthy of John D Rockefeller Jr's investment to protect the area from further development and underwrite the establishment of Grand Teton National Park.
When visiting in the late-Spring/Summer, get up early for sunrise at Moulton Barn, visit the other sights and hikes throughout the day, and find a way to experience sunset from a perspective close to this.
