The glacial lake under the Cathedral Group, 256 feet deep. The lot fills by 8 a.m., so get there early.

A glacial lake at the foot of the Cathedral Group, and the busiest hub in the park.

Tan body, dark neck, pale rump patch. Listen at dusk in September for a bull's high whistle carrying across the sage.

Only the bulls grow antlers, and they grow fast, up to an inch a day, then drop off each winter and start over in spring.

Jenny Lake Boating runs a shuttle to the west dock. It cuts about two miles of flat lakeshore off the walk each way.

You can tell a grizzly from a black bear by the hump of muscle over its shoulders and its long, straight claws, up to about 4 inches, built for digging, not climbing.

Those low ridges are not foothills. They are moraines, rock the glaciers pushed up and left behind. Photograph the wall going straight up behind them.

Cabins, a campground, a marina and a swim beach on Jackson Lake, with the Lakeshore Trail leaving from behind the visitor center.

Log cabins, tent cabins, a campground, an RV park, a marina, and a visitor center on the east shore of Jackson Lake.

White bark and round leaves that shake in any breeze. A whole grove is one organism joined underground, so it turns color all at once.

Aspen leaves quake because of their stems. Each leaf hangs from a flat stem that twists in the wind, so the whole tree seems to shimmer and whisper in even a light breeze.

Three peaks in a row: Grand Teton, Mount Owen, Teewinot. Find the spot where all three line up and count them out loud.

Grand Teton, Mount Owen, and Teewinot: the three-peak silhouette that is the shape on the park map.

A bison can run about 35 miles an hour and jump a fence about 5 feet high, which is surprising for an animal the size of a car.

Storms are common here on summer afternoons. Photograph the clouds stacking up, then get off open ground and away from lone trees.

A fat ground squirrel sunning on a boulder near the lake trails. You usually hear a sharp whistle before you see one.

A marmot spends more than half of its whole life asleep. It hibernates in a burrow from fall until spring, usually coming out in April or May, living off the fat it stored all summer.

A pika does not hibernate. Instead it spends all summer clipping plants and piling them under rocks to dry into haypiles, then eats from those piles all winter under the snow.

Shallow, sun-warmed water with sandy edges between Jenny Lake and Leigh Lake. The flat loop trail stays next to the water.
