Cathedral Group Turnout
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
No elevation data on file for this trail.
The Cathedral Group refers to three peaks: Teewinot Mountain, the Grand Teton and Mount Owen. These spires tower above Cascade Canyon casting long shadows during a summer sunset. Looking west, the Teton fault breaks the lower slope on Rockchuck Peak recording the last several large earthquakes on the fault. This turnout captures both the beauty of the Teton Range and the power of earthquakes to change the landscape. Name Origin Mount Owen, Teewinot Mountain and the Grand Teton form the Cathedral Group. They appear as cathedral-like spires when viewed from the northeast along the Jenny Lake Scenic Loop Drive.
