The Cathedral Group is the group of the tallest mountains of the Teton Range, all of which are located in Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The Cathedral Group are classic alpine peaks, with pyramidal shapes caused by glacial motion. The highest peak in the group is Grand Teton, which rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole valley, and is the second tallest mountain in Wyoming, after Gannett Peak. The Cathedral Group is separated by other tall peaks of the range by the Cascade Canyon to the north and Avalanche Canyon to the south.

  • The Cathedral Group is the group of the tallest mountains of the Teton Range, all of which are located in Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The Cathedral Group are classic alpine peaks, with pyramidal shapes caused by glacial motion. The highest peak in the group is Grand Teton, which rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole valley, and is the second tallest mountain in Wyoming, after Gannett Peak. The Cathedral Group is separated by other tall peaks of the range by the Cascade Canyon to the north and Avalanche Canyon to the south. Half the remaining dozen glaciers in the Teton Range are located in this cluster of high peaks, including the Teton Glacier which is the largest one in the range. Other glaciers such as the Middle Teton Glacier, Teepe Glacier, and Schoolroom Glacier are also located here. The Cathedral Group has several high cirques, arêtes as well as hanging and U-shaped valleys which are all the work of glacial activity. At the base of the Cathedral Group, several glacial lakes can be found, including Jenny, Bradley and Taggart Lakes, all of which were formed when the glaciers of the last ice age retreated, leaving behind terminal moraines which acted as natural dams. A few high altitude lakes can also be found scattered among the peaks. (en)
  • De Cathedral Group (nedl. kathedraalgroep) is een informele benaming gebruikt om een deel van het Tetongebergte, gelegen in het Grand Teton National Park in de Amerikaanse staat Wyoming aan te duiden. De Cathedral Group omvat vele van de hoogste pieken van het Tetongebergte, en van de gehele staat Wyoming. Vele van de toppen binnen de Cathedral Group worden gekenmerkt door hun steil-piramidale vorm veroorzaakt door de inwerking van gletsjers tijdens opeenvolgende glacialen in het Kwartair. De steile piramidale vorm van deze pieken verklaart ook waarom men van Cathedral spreekt. Een groot deel van de pieken binnen de Cathedral Group wordt gerekend tot de zogenaamde "twaalfduizenders", een term die in de Angelsaksische wereld aangeeft dat een berg minstens twaalfduizend voet (ca. 3700 m) hoog is. De Grand Teton is met een hoogte van 4199 m de hoogste berg in de Cathedral Group, en bij uitbreiding ook van het gehele Tetongebergte. In gans Wyoming is de Grand Teton de op een na hoogste berg, na Gannett Peak. De Grand Teton torent ongeveer 2100 m boven de brede Jackson Holevallei uit. Doorgaans rekent men alle bergen ten zuiden van de en ten noorden van de tot de Cathedral Group. Zowat de helft van alle gletsjers in het Tetongebergte is gelegen binnen de Cathedral Group, waaronder ook de , de grootste binnen het Tetongebergte. Andere gletsjers binnen de Cathedral Group zijn de , , and . Andere prominente geomorfologische verschijnselen binnen de Cathedral Group zijn onder andere arêtes, ketel-, trog- en hangende dalen, die allemaal ontstaan door de inwerking van gletsjers. Aan de voet van de Cathedral Group, in de Jackson Holevallei bevinden zich verschillende gletsjermeren zoals Jenny Lake, en , die allen ontstonden op het einde van het Laatste Glaciale Maximum. Tijdens deze periode lieten de krimpende gletsjers los gesteente achter in eindmorenes die nu fungeren als natuurlijke afdammingen voor deze meren. Tussen de pieken zelf bevinden zich ook een klein aantal meren gevuld met smeltwater van de pieken. (nl)
