With so many different religions being practiced throughout the world, it can be easy to get caught up in the small details and differences that each sect brings. However, one thing is certain – nearly everyone can relate to seeing the incredible creations of Mother Nature and feeling enchanted, inspired, and a little overwhelmed. Perhaps that’s why hundreds of thousands of visitors flock each year to the Chapel of the Transfiguration in the Grand Teton Mountains. This simple, humble church has become one of the most sacred sights in the world.

The majestic Chapel of the Transfiguration was built in 1925 as an Episcopal Church in the heart of the Grand Teton Mountains.
