“Jenny Lake sits directly under the Cathedral Group: Grand Teton, Mount Owen, and Teewinot lined up across the west shore. The lake is small enough to walk around in a day and deep enough to hold its colour. A shuttle boat runs across to the foot of Cascade Canyon. On still mornings the three peaks come down into the water unbroken.

— about Jenny Lake with Cathedral Group

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

Jenny Lake is one of the central glacial lakes of Grand Teton National Park, in the middle of the range about twelve miles north of Moose. It covers roughly 1,191 acres and reaches 423 feet at its deepest point, sitting at 6,783 feet of elevation. The lake formed about 12,000 years ago when a moraine of debris from the Cascade Canyon glacier dammed the meltwater. The Cathedral Group (Grand Teton at 13,775 feet, Mount Owen at 12,928 feet, and Teewinot at 12,330 feet) rises directly from its west shore.

— the stone

The Cathedral Group is the tightest cluster of the Teton Range, three peaks rising side by side from the same Precambrian gneiss and granite that forms the spine of the range. Grand Teton, at 13,775 feet, is the highest. Mount Owen carries a permanent snow couloir on its north face. Teewinot, the closest to Jenny Lake, drops almost straight to the shore. The whole face was sculpted by glaciers during the last ice age, leaving the steep, fluted east walls that read as cathedral architecture from across the water.

— the visit

The Jenny Lake area is one of the most visited corners of Grand Teton National Park. A shuttle boat runs across to Hidden Falls and the mouth of Cascade Canyon, typically from mid-May through late September, leaving every fifteen minutes through summer. The around-the-lake trail covers about 7.1 miles and is rated moderate. The renovated South Jenny Lake visitor area opened in 2018 after a multi-year project. Most parking fills by 9 a.m. through July and August; the shoulder season is quieter and the light is better.

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Jenny Lake with Cathedral Group — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

The cluster of three peaks above the west shore of Jenny Lake: Grand Teton at 13,775 feet, Mount Owen at 12,928 feet, and Teewinot at 12,330 feet. The name comes from the way they read together as cathedral architecture.

Jenny Lake covers about 1,191 acres at 6,783 feet of elevation, with a maximum depth of 423 feet. It is a glacial lake formed by a moraine dam at the mouth of Cascade Canyon.

Jenny Leigh, a Shoshone woman who, with her English-born husband Beaver Dick Leigh, guided the 1872 Hayden geological survey through this part of the range. Adjacent Leigh Lake is named for the same family.

Yes. A concession-run shuttle crosses to the Hidden Falls and Cascade Canyon trailhead from mid-May through late September, leaving every fifteen minutes through summer. The crossing takes about ten minutes each way.

The around-the-lake loop is roughly 7.1 miles with modest elevation gain, generally rated moderate. Many visitors combine the loop with a side trip up to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point above the west shore.

By glaciers. About 12,000 years ago, the retreating Cascade Canyon glacier left a terminal moraine of rock debris across the canyon mouth, damming the meltwater and creating the lake more or less as it stands today.

— about the piece in your home

It carries well for customers who climbed in the Cathedral Group, who hiked the Jenny Lake loop, or who took the shuttle across to Cascade Canyon. The lake-and-peaks composition is the one most people bring home.

The vertical lift of the Cathedral Group and the dark mirror of the lake suit mountain-modern, alpine, and Western-contemporary interiors. The piece pairs cleanly with timber, stone, and brushed metal.

Yes. Both styles lean on recognisable peaks and quiet water, and the Cathedral Group is one of the most distinctive ranges in North America to anchor a wall against.

A single Large covers most sofas. For a longer console or a statement wall, a four-tile Mural lifts the peaks; a nine-tile Mural treats the whole wall as the lake and the Cathedral Group.

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.
