Owl Peak is in the northern Teton Range, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.[1] The peak is located west of and across Jackson Lake from Lizard Creek Campground. Access to the peak is easiest by boat to the Berry Creek trailhead at Wilcox Point. After a 2 mile (3.2 km) hike along Berry Creek trail, off trail access to the summit can be achieved after a steep ascent of an additional 2 miles (3.2 km).[2] Owl Peak is the most northerly of the Tetons to exceed 10,000 feet (3,048 m). North of the mountain, the Tetons blend into the Yellowstone Plateau.
