Panorama from just east of Jackson Lake. The two highest peaks are Grand Teton (left) and Mount Moran (right). The straight front of the range is a fault. The range is made up of Archean gneiss and Proterozoic granite, mantled by Paleozoic rocks around the northern, western and southern edges and deeply sculpted by glaciation.
