Teewinot, the Grand, and Mt Owen form what is known as the Cathedral Group. Valhalla Canyon rises out of Cascade Canyon and can be ascended by crossing the creek and bushwhacking through the undergrowth.

Cascade Canyon, with Mount Owen

Following Cascade Creek into the heart of the Tetons there are views reminiscent of the Swiss Alps; the greenery, the stream, the upward sweep to the lofty summits above. In this painting Mount Owen dominates and the Grand is seen to the left of it.

View from the Summit of the Grand Teton

You cannot stay on the summit forever; You have to come down again… So why bother in the first place? Just this: what is above knows what is below; But what is below does not know what is above.

Alpenglow on the South Teton

This view is from the Petzoldt Caves above Garnet Canyon. It’s a campsite used by Paul Petzoldt when he was guiding routes in the 1920s and 1930s. It’s an airy perch, but sheltered by some of the last trees you’ll see on the trail.
