o understand what makes the Tetons so special, a bit of ancient geological
history goes a long way. For those that travel around the West, one
will note a regular feature: north-south mountain ranges with basins in
between. In many ways, that makes America unique, as one can often cruise an
open road, looking at majestic snowcapped peaks in the distance, enjoying a near
spiritual beauty over a tremendous area. In certain locales, these ranges reach
notable height providing abundant snow, thick green trees, and tall summits,
much like the Colorado Rockies.
