Death Canyon, Canyon in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, US.

Death Canyon is a U-shaped glacial valley in the southern Teton Range of Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. It is enclosed by high peaks including Albright Peak, Static Peak, Prospectors Mountain and Mount Meek, and Phelps Lake lies at its base. The Death Canyon Trail runs the length of the canyon to Fox Creek Pass.

Glaciers retreating at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum about 15,000 years ago carved the U-shaped valley. The historic Death Canyon Barn, at the junction of the Death Canyon and Alaska Basin trails, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

The Death Canyon Barn is a historic structure that hikers encounter along the trails, standing as a reminder of the ranching era when families worked this remote valley. The building shows how settlers adapted to life in such isolated mountain terrain.

Access is via Moose-Wilson Road, which leads to trailheads offering routes ranging from moderate to strenuous hikes. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and prepare for changing mountain weather conditions.

The Death Canyon Shelf is reached only at Fox Creek Pass, at the far end of the Death Canyon Trail. It is a relatively narrow, level plateau that hikers traverse on the route toward Alaska Basin. The historic Death Canyon Barn, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, stands at the junction of the Death Canyon and Alaska Basin trails.
