Rocky Mountains Teton Range - Yellowstone Area

Middle Teton

12,804 ft

The Middle Teton is a prominent peak in the Rocky Mountains mountain range, located in Wyoming. Standing at an elevation of 12,804 feet (3,903 meters), it is a challenging summit that attracts mountaineers from around the world. The mountain is characterized by its rugged terrain and stunning alpine scenery.

During the winter season, the Middle Teton experiences a significant snowpack. The snowpack range can vary each year, but on average, it can reach depths of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) at higher elevations. This makes it an ideal destination for backcountry skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. The mountain's snowpack also contributes to the runoff into various creeks and rivers in the surrounding area, such as the Teton River and Avalanche Canyon Creek.

The name Middle Teton is derived from the Teton Range's naming conventions. The range itself was named by French trappers who dubbed it "Les Trois Tétons" (The Three Breasts) due to its distinctive triple peak formation. The Middle Teton is part of this iconic three-peak formation, along with the Grand Teton and South Teton. The mountain has a rich history, with Native American tribes considering the Teton Range sacred. There are also tales of early explorers and fur trappers who ventured into the region, adding to the lore and legends associated with the Middle Teton.
