Owl Peak (10,612 feet (3,235 m)) is in the northern Teton Range, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming and is just east of Elk Mountain.[3] 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 miles (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). North of the mountain, the Tetons blend into the Yellowstone Plateau while to the south lies Webb Canyon.
