The 12,605 ft Mount Moran was named for the renowned 19th century artist, Thomas Moran, whose paintings of the wonders of the Yellowstone-Teton area strongly influenced Congress's agreement to establish Yellowstone as "the world's first national park", is recognized by its pleasing "flat top" profile, unlike the pointed peaks around it. To the left - south - is Mount Woodring. Great views are to be had from any number of locations in the northern part of Grand National Park. This photo was taken from Signal Mountain Lodge.
