“Teton Pass climbs out of Jackson Hole on Wyoming Highway 22 and crests at 8,431 feet before dropping into Idaho. The overlook near the top opens onto the whole valley — the town of Jackson at the southern end, the Snake River winding north, and the Teton Range standing along the west side of the valley. A short pull-off, a few interpretive panels, and a long view that takes a minute to read. from the studio

— about Teton Pass scenic overlook

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

Teton Pass crosses the southern end of the Teton Range at 8,431 feet on Wyoming Highway 22, connecting Jackson, Wyoming with Victor, Idaho. The road climbs roughly 2,200 feet from the valley floor in about six miles, with a sustained 10 percent grade on the Wyoming side. The pass sits on the boundary between Bridger-Teton and Caribou-Targhee national forests. The overlook near the summit faces east over Jackson Hole, with the main Teton peaks visible along the north horizon.

— the air

At 8,431 feet the pass holds snow into June most years and gathers it again in October. The grade and altitude make weather change quickly; the road has chain laws in winter and is closed by avalanche control on warning. The summit area is a launch point for backcountry skiing on Mount Glory, just north of the highway. From the overlook, Jackson Hole opens about 12 miles wide between the Tetons and the Gros Ventre Range, with the Snake River running its length.

— the visit

The pass is plowed year-round but closes for storms and avalanche work, particularly in late winter. A signed overlook near the summit has paved parking and interpretive panels on the geology and on Mount Glory, the 10,086-foot summit just north of the road. Trucks over 60 feet are prohibited; chains or traction tires are required from November through March. The valley below holds the town of Jackson, Grand Teton National Park, and the National Elk Refuge.

A few questions we get about Teton Pass scenic overlook — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

The pass crests at 8,431 feet on Wyoming Highway 22, between Jackson, Wyoming and Victor, Idaho. The climb gains about 2,200 feet from the valley floor over roughly six miles.

Yes, but it closes regularly for storms and avalanche control. Chains or traction tires are required from November through March, and trucks over 60 feet are prohibited year-round.

Jackson Hole spreads to the east, about 12 miles wide between the Teton and Gros Ventre ranges. The town of Jackson sits at the south end, with the Snake River running north toward the park.

A 10,086-foot summit just north of the pass, popular as a backcountry ski objective. The boot-pack route up the south ridge starts directly from the pass parking area.

The Teton Fault drops the valley floor sharply along the east side of the range. The result is a 10 percent grade on the Wyoming approach, one of the steeper sustained highway grades in the United States.

Wyoming and Idaho. The road descends from the pass to Victor, Idaho on the west and Jackson, Wyoming on the east. The state line lies on the divide itself.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. Commuters and locals on both sides of the pass know the view from the overlook. A Medium or Large with a handwritten note from the studio is the common gift size.

The piece sits well with mountain-modern, alpine-modern, and warm minimalist rooms. The deep blues and pale sage hold against wood, stone, and natural wool.

Yes. Jackson Hole imagery carries weight in mountain-modern and lodge-revival rooms. The pass view reads as a specific place rather than a generic alpine scene.

Above a sofa, a single Large or a four-tile Mural reading horizontally. Above a console, a Medium centred, or three Smalls in a row.

Yes. Order in Dura Satin for a soft sheen and scratch resistance, or Matte for no sheen. Both handle steam and routine wiping.

A dry or barely-damp microfibre cloth handles dust and fingerprints. The colour is infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure and lives beneath a thin glossy finish.

Yes. The piece is original to Wender Studios, painted by Reid Wender. We do not license other artists' work, and no two vistas leave the studio identical.
