Chapel of the Transfiguration
Moose, WY
A small 1925 log chapel whose altar window frames the Grand Teton, just north of Moose Junction. It is still used for Episcopal services in summer, and visitors can look inside at other times.
The Chapel of the Transfiguration is a small log chapel in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, near Moose. It was built in the mid-1920s (Lonely Planet gives 1924, Fodor's 1925). According to Fodor's, Maud Noble donated the land.
Inside are benches made of aspen. Through the altar window you see the peaks of the Teton Range, which makes the chapel a favorite photo subject. It is an active Episcopal church: services are held on Sundays in summer, and couples marry here with the mountain panorama behind them.
For your route planning: the chapel makes a short stop on a drive through the southern part of the park, for example together with Snake River Overlook. No reliable information turned up on opening hours outside services or on access; ask beforehand.
