Grand Teton National Park

In the past 40 years the Teton, Teepee, and Middle Teton glaciers on the peaks in front of you have lost 25 percent of their total surface area. Glaciers show us that our climate changes. They serve as icy reservoirs, accumulating snow and ice during the wet, cool years when people need less water and releasing more water into rivers in warm, dry years. Water runoff from the Teton Range provides wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and even irrigation for thirsty crops along the Snake River in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
