Death Canyon Trail, Mountain trail in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, United States.
Death Canyon Trail extends 10.5 miles through mountainous terrain, climbing from 6,807 feet to 9,570 feet at Fox Creek Pass.
Glaciers carved Death Canyon during the last ice age, creating deep valleys and steep cliffs that define the current landscape.
The trail serves as an environmental education site where naturalists study native wildlife including moose, marmots, and golden eagles.
Hikers need permits for overnight camping in designated zones between Alaska Basin Trail junction and Fox Creek Pass.
The trail changes vegetation patterns with elevation, starting in dense conifer forests and moving to alpine meadows with native wildflowers.
