Ah, Rapaire, but the Big Horns, in WY are also known as the "Shining Mountains." Of course, they are part of the Rockies.:-)

I was wondering about that Minnesota reference, too.*smile*

MarkS: The origin of the current name is controversial. The most common explanation is that "Grand Teton" means "large tit" in French, named by either French-Canadian or Iroquois members of an expedition led by Donald McKenzie of the North West Company.[5] However, other historians disagree, and claim that the mountain was named after the Teton Sioux tribe of Native Americans.[6]

Which begs the question, who designated them the "Teton" Sioux? Must've been a French-Canadian in there somewhere!
