"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
