About this postcard

The picture shows Mount Moran, its reddish-grey summit and steep buttresses rising above a dark band of conifers, seen across the still water of Leigh Lake, which mirrors the mountain and sky. The caption identifies the peak as 12,100 feet high, viewed from Leigh Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Mount Moran, named for the painter Thomas Moran, is one of the range's most recognizable summits, and Leigh Lake at its base is a glacial lake in the park's northern section. Haynes Inc. of Yellowstone Park was a long-established concession photographer and postcard publisher in the national parks.
