Description

The Cathedral Group at sunrise in Grand Teton National Park, viewed from the Cathedral Group turnout near String Lake. The Cathedral Group consists of Grand Teton, Mount Owen, and Teewinot Mountain, the peaks immediately south of Cascade Canyon. Fritiof Fryxell - the park's first naturalist- wrote, "These peaks have been called the Cathedral Group... more evident here than in many of the great cathedrals of men is the gothic note. It is seen in the profiles of the countless firs and spruces congregated like worshippers on the lower slopes; it reappears higher in the converging lines of spire rising beyond spire; it attains supreme expression in the figures of the peaks themselves that, towering above all else, with pointed summits direct one's vision and thoughts yet higher."
