The Grand Teton is the highest peak in the Teton Range, and it raises more than 7,000 feet above the town of Jackson. The park was named after this tallest peak, with the name being shortened from "Les Trois Tétons" (The Three Teats) to "Tetons."
The Grand Teton National Park is home to lakes, parts of the Snake River and small glaciers, as well as being the location of rocks estimated to be 2.7 billion years old and ecosystems that have existed since prehistoric times.
