Where Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
When 1978
Photographer David Alan Harvey

"Quintessential mountains, these Tetons. Lofty, majestic, haughty, hypnotic—I searched my vocabulary for descriptive adjectives. All fit, none sufficed. ...Yet [the Tetons are] young as mountains go, less than nine million years old."

—Quoted from François Leydet, writing in "Grand Teton—A Winter's Tale," July 1979, National Geographic magazine
