“Mount Moran rises straight out of the west shore of Jackson Lake, a flat-topped twelve-thousand-foot block that reads almost like a wall. The Skillet Glacier sits high on its east face. The lake fills the foreground from any northern pullout, and on a still morning the whole mountain comes down into the water unbroken.

— about Jackson Lake with Mount Moran

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Jackson Lake is the largest of the Teton glacial lakes, set against the northern half of the Teton Range in Grand Teton National Park. The lake covers about 25,540 acres at a surface elevation of 6,772 feet, with depths reaching 438 feet. Mount Moran, the dominant peak on the west shore, tops out at 12,605 feet. The pairing of lake and mountain is one of the most recognised compositions in the American West, photographed from Oxbow Bend, Signal Mountain, and the Mount Moran turnout along US 89.

— the stone

Mount Moran is a granite block streaked across its east face by a dark vertical band of diabase, a 150-foot dike intruded into the older rock roughly 1.5 billion years ago. The summit is unusually flat for a Teton peak and carries a small remnant of the original sedimentary cover that once topped the range, a detail visible from the lakeshore. Five glaciers sit on the mountain; the Skillet Glacier on the east face, named for its long handle of ice running down a couloir, is the most visible from Jackson Lake.

— the water

Jackson Lake is a natural glacial lake whose surface was raised by Jackson Lake Dam, first completed in 1907 at the lake's outlet and rebuilt to modern standards in 1989. The dam raised the natural level about thirty-nine feet and stores water for downstream irrigation in Idaho. The lake holds lake trout, cutthroat, and brown trout. The cold, mineral-clear water reflects the west shore on calm mornings and breaks into hard chop when afternoon wind comes off the range.

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Jackson Lake with Mount Moran — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

Mount Moran rises to 12,605 feet, making it one of the major peaks of the Teton Range. It stands on the west shore of Jackson Lake and is the most prominent mountain visible from the northern half of the park.

The summit preserves a small cap of sandstone that once sat across the entire range. Most of that sedimentary cover eroded long ago; the Moran summit is one of the few places where a remnant survives.

A diabase dike, a 150-foot-wide vertical band of dark igneous rock intruded into the older granite about 1.5 billion years ago. It runs nearly the full height of the east face and is visible from the lake.

Jackson Lake covers about 25,540 acres at a surface elevation of 6,772 feet, with a maximum depth near 438 feet. It is the largest body of water inside Grand Teton National Park.

The Mount Moran turnout on US 89, Oxbow Bend just to the south, and the Signal Mountain summit road are the three most common viewpoints, each offering a different angle of the peak across the water.

Yes. It is a glacial lake whose level was raised about thirty-nine feet by Jackson Lake Dam, first built in 1907 and rebuilt in 1989. The basin itself was carved by ice during the last glacial period.

— about the piece in your home

It carries well for customers with deep ties to Grand Teton: a family camping tradition, a wedding at the lodge, a long-running fishing trip on the lake. The Moran-and-lake composition is what most people picture when they picture the park.

The strong horizontal of the lake and the vertical block of Mount Moran work in mountain-modern, lake-house, and Western-contemporary interiors. The piece holds against timber, stone, and leather without leaning rustic.

Yes. Both styles favour real-place imagery with clean lines, and the lake-and-Moran composition gives a room a recognisable American-West reference point without tipping into cowboy cliche.

A single Large covers most sofas. For a longer console or a statement wall, a four-tile Mural extends the lake horizon; a nine-tile Mural treats the whole wall as the view of Moran across the water.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and handle steam and splash well. Reserve the Glossy finish for framed pieces away from direct water.

A soft microfibre cloth, slightly damp with water. Skip household cleaners and abrasives. The colour lives in the ceramic surface, not on top of it, so it will not wear off over time.

Yes. Every piece is original to Wender Studios in Knoxville, Tennessee. Reid Wender chooses each place that enters the atlas; nothing is licensed in or resold from third parties.
