Early morning sun on the Grand Tetons © BedRock
One of the most famous mountains in the world. Namesake and high point of the Teton Range, which rises without foothills from the Jackson Hole plain. A contender for the Paramount Films mountain which it is generally regarded as inspiring. Featured in lots of films, but to great effect in the the extreme skiing documentary Steep. Beware afternoon electrical storms!
Permits are easy to come by even in peak season and there is no need to book ahead. You need to go to the ranger station near Jenny Lake, the guys there are all climbers and very cool in that western United States way - a lot of 'hey man, what a route dude.' They are full of info not just on the Teton but also on bears, water and all the surrounding crags and climbs so worth checking in if you have any queries and certainly not guys to avoid. Tons of climbing and outdoor shops in the Keswick of America - Jackson Hole nearby.
