Waterfalls and Glaciers
Grand Teton National Park features several alpine glaciers and cascading waterfalls shaped by tectonic activity and ice age carving. This collection includes the Skillet Glacier on Mount Moran, known for its distinctive frying-pan shape, and the Schoolroom Glacier, which displays classic features like a terminal moraine and proglacial lake. Waterfalls such as Shoshoko and Cleft Falls are fed by seasonal snowmelt and glacial runoff, cutting through ancient Precambrian gneiss and granite within the park's rugged canyon systems.
