Teton Glacier Turnout - Wyoming - Scenic Roadside Look-Outs on Waymarking.com

The Teton Glacier Turnout is located along Teton Park Road about four miles north of Moose, Wyoming. The overlook has a view of the Tetons and Teton Glacier.
At the viewpoint there is a sign titled “The Teton Glacier”.
Text of Sign:
“More than any other erosional force, great Ice Age glaciers sculpted this mountain skyline. Today, a dozen glaciers flow from cirques cut by Ice Age giants. Teton Glacier, the largest in the park, lies below ad northeast of the Grand Teton.”
“Teton glacier acts like a huge conveyor belt. Below the glacier, note the former terminal moraine, a wall of rocks of all sizes transported by moving ice and deposited at the edge of Teton Glacier’s melting snout.”
“For a glacier to remain a constant size, snowfall at the top must equal melting at the bottom. More snowfall causes a glacier to advance, meaning to grow larger. Less snowfall results in retreat. At any size, to be called a glacier, snow fall compacted into ice must flow under the pull of gravity.”
