| Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Vertical movement along the Teton fault began a mere 9 million years ago making the Teton range of northwestern Wyoming a mere infant compared with other ranges in the West. On any clear, calm morning the glacier-sculpted results of that uplift reflect in the mirror-smooth waters at Swabacher's Landing on the Snake River in the valley of Jackson Hole. While the summits of these peaks tower 7,000 feet above the valley floor, total displacement along this still-active fault has reached an incredible 33,000 feet. All photos in these galleries may be ordered as fine art framed prints or for stock photography usage. |
