Grand Teton is a prominent mountain peak in Wyoming’s Teton Range, or, more broadly, the name of the nearby national park and the iconic granite summit. The term combines the French-derived “grand” meaning large with “Teton,” the oorspronkelijke native name adapted by explorers; together they designate a majestically tall, jagged peak that anchors the region’s landscape. The pronunciation is important for hikers, geographers, and travelers referencing the park or range.
