Granite Canyon, Glacial canyon in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, US.
Granite Canyon stretches between Rendezvous Mountain and Mount Hunt, featuring dense forests, meadows, and a creek that flows through its length.
The canyon formed through glacial retreat approximately 15,000 years ago, creating a U-shaped valley with distinct geological formations.
The Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin, registered as a National Historic Place in 1998, stands as a testament to early park management.
The Granite Canyon Trail connects to the Valley Trail system and requires a Grand Teton National Park entry fee for access.
Hikers can start their journey at Rendezvous Mountain summit via aerial tram and descend 4,100 feet through the canyon to Teton Village.
