USGS GNIS entry RedWolf 23:17, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
Pronunciation of the name of the mountain should be added.
Parts of the Northern United States were initially explored by the French from
New France. This is shown by names such as
Detroit,
Des Moines, etc. "Grand Teton" means "big tit teat" in French, and this is a possible interpretation of the shape of the mountain. Translation edited by

Thus, I wonder about whether the indicated etymology is correct. David.Monniaux 15:01, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I can't find a reference for it, but grand tétons' is how you say big breasts in Cajun French. There's a video of this guy saying the same thing. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.201.182.162 ( talk) 16:23, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Grand Teton serves as the main location in the 1900 story The Moon Metal by Garrett P. Serviss. List of fictional currencies#Novel names has some further details and references; I leave it to editors of this page to determine whether this would count as "trivia" to include here.

What goes up comes down right? I'm ignorant re: climbing terms, so was mystified re: the mention of who "descended" first. Can the section re: Descents be expanded to explain what this is all about. Thanks.
