Mountain of the Week - Mount Moran

June 8th, 2007 Wade

What’s not to love about a mountain that hasn’t had a maintained trail to it in over twenty years! The easiest way to get to the mountain is by canoeing across two lakes and then bushwacking until you reach a suitable route up the peak. Talk about an adventure, where do I sign up?

Mt Moran - (12,605 ft/3,842 m)

From Wikipedia

Mount Moran is a mountain in Grand Teton National Park of western Wyoming, United States. The mountain is named for Thomas Moran, an American western frontier landscape artist. Mount Moran dominates the northern section of the Teton Range rising 6,000 feet (1,830 m) above Jackson Lake. Several active glaciers exist on the mountain with Skillet Glacier plainly visible on the monolithic east face. Like Middle Teton in the same range, Mount Moran’s face is marked by a distinctive basalt intrusion known as the Black Dike.
