The Grand Tetons above, Craig Thomas Visitor Center below.
The popular story
about the GT name origin is that a French-Canadian fur trapper thought they
looked like big boobs – Grand Tetons in French.
The less popular story is that they were named for or by the Teton
Sioux. In any case, they are indeed grand. But – they don’t look like women’s breasts at
all.

Davey Jackson was a fur trapper who traveled around naming everything he could find after himself.
Not a very modest fellow, I guess.
