Geology of Grand Teton National Park : How the Mountain Came to Be

This landscape of towering mountains and a broad, flat plain is not as simple as it might first appear. Why are the peaks higher in the middle of the range? How did the lakes form? why is the valley filled with round rocks? This guidebook gives you the basic story, and where to go to see geologic features. With images by award-winning photographer Henry H. Holdsworth and text by Wyoming native Charles Craighead, it offers a clear and simple explanation for the scenery of Grand Teton National Park.
