Grand Teton Peak is the tallest mountain in Grand Teton National Park, being 13,770 feet above sea level.  In addition to this famous mountain, there are eight other mountains over 12,000 feet.  The range is about 40 miles long by about 8 miles wide, with it's flat prairie floor to the east having an average elevation of 6,800 feet above sea level.   Jackson Lake, the largest lake in Grand Teton National Park is over 6,700 feet, as compared to Glacier Park's Lake McDonald which is only 3,153 feet above sea level.  So the entire Grand Teton National Park area is "high", even the valley floor.
