Teton Glacier Turnout
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
No elevation data on file for this trail.
Teton Glacier is the largest glacier in the park. A remnant of the Little Ice Age, this patch of ice clings to the northeast flank of the Grand Teton sheltered from the strong summer sun. A pronounced ridge of rocky debris, known as a glacial moraine, lays down-slope of the glacier. During summer, winter snow melts exposing grayish ice and crevasses. These cracks in the glacier show that the ice is still flowing downhill due to gravity even while the warming temperatures melt the ice causing the glacier to retreat.
