The “A Glacial Landscape” sign is located at the Windy Point Turnout along the Park Road about a mile north of Moose, Wyoming. There is a labeled profile of the Tetons across the top of the sign.
From Text of Sign: “A glacier 3,000 feet thick once filled this valley. Repeatedly, enormous glaciers transported cobbles, gravel, and coarse sand as they advanced. As the glaciers retreated, torrential meltwaters washed and spread the rocky material throughout the valley. Rain and snow percolate rapidly through the cobbles, leaving little moisture for overlying soil. Sage brush identifies this dry outwash plain.”
