The centerpiece and namesake of Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, the Teton Range is one of America’s most awe-inspiring mountain ranges.
Few national parks have such amazing mountain vistas as Grand Teton National Park, which is thanks mainly to the absence of any foothills.
Instead, due to their location at the so-called Teton Fault and their relatively young age, the Tetons rise abruptly and sharply from the plains of Jackson Hole.
Characterized by deep canyons, steep slopes, and jagged peaks, the Teton Range is truly a sight to behold.
Moreover, because simply seeing the Tetons is a bucket-list activity for many national park enthusiasts, I’ve dedicated an whole separate blog post to the best places to see the Tetons within the national park.
In this particular post, however, I’ll help you identify the many Teton peaks you might see from various vantage points throughout Grand Teton National Park.
Below, you’ll find the names of the Teton Range peaks, as seen from popular places like Oxbow Bend, Mormon Row, Jackson Lake Dam, and Signal Mountain, among others.

Names of the Teton Mountains (With Pictures)
Although you can’t see all of the Teton peaks listed above from any single viewpoint, most views do include several of these major mountain summits.
Below is a visual overview, in photos, of the names of the Teton Range peaks, as seen from several popular overlooks.
Teton Range Peaks Names, As Seen From Signal Mountain
The summit of Signal Mountain is the highest vantage point for clear views of the Tetons. You can get to the top in two different ways.
You can either drive up via the Signal Mountain Summit Road or hike the 6.8-mile roundtrip Signal Mountain Trail.
The vista takes in most of the central portion of the range, with Grand Teton, Mount St. John, Mount Woodring, and Mount Moran stealing the spotlight.
Teton Range Peaks Names, As Seen From Jackson Lake Dam
The Jackson Lake Dam provides one of the most inclusive views of the Teton Mountains—inclusive in the sense that it includes numerous major peaks. It also offers a rare view of most of the northern portion of the Teton Range.
Mount Moran is front and center in this view, while Grand Teton dominates the left part.
Toward the right, you can see peaks that aren’t visible from more southerly locations in the national park, such as Ranger Peak and Eagles Rest Peak.
Teton Range Peaks Names, As Seen From Willow Flats
Located above a sprawling lowland of sagebrush, grasslands, and willows, the Willow Flats Overlook offers a sweeping view of much of the Teton Range.
Its wide-open panorama allows you to clearly see several major Teton Range peaks, such as Teewinot Mountain, Grand Teton, Mount Moran, and Traverse Peak.
Teton Range Peaks Names, As Seen From Oxbow Bend
Compared to many other viewpoints, the Teton view from Oxbow Bend is a bit more restricted.
It’s still one of the park’s greatest overlooks, though, especially because there’s often a reflection of the mountains in the Snake River at sunrise.
The beautiful vista includes mountains like Rockchuck Peak, Mount Woodring, and Mount Moran.
Teton Range Peaks Names, As Seen From Snake River Overlook
Although the trees growing in the foreground partially obstruct the view of the Snake River itself, the Snake River Overlook still provides a jaw-dropping view of the Teton Range.
The panorama encompasses many of the southern and central Teton Range peak names, such as Static Peak, Mount Wister, Nez Perce, Middle Teton, Grand Teton, and Mount St. John, among several others.
Teton Range Peaks Names, As Seen From Blacktail Ponds Overlook
My personal favorite place for views of the Tetons is the Blacktail Ponds Overlook.
I particular enjoy watching the sunrise over the Teton Range here, while it’s also a great spot to see wildlife like moose and elk.
The view is nothing short of spectacular, including the three Teton peaks—South, Middle, and Grand Teton—along with Buck Mountain, Mount Owen, and Teewinot Mountain.
Teton Range Peaks Names, As Seen From Mormon Row
One of the most popular places in Grand Teton National Park, Mormon Row is famous for its iconic view of the Moulton Barn backed by the Teton Range.
This is a great area to see the cluster of peaks that make up the heart of the Teton Range.
The collection of visible mountain summits includes famous Grand Teton peak names like South Teton, Cloudveil Dome, Middle Teton, Teewinot, and, of course, the one and only Grand Teton.
