Broken Falls, Waterfall in Wyoming, US

Broken Falls is a waterfall in the eastern part of the Teton Range inside Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, dropping water in seven sections over a total height of about 300 feet (91 meters). The highest single drop reaches around 50 feet (15 meters), and the falls are generally narrow, giving them a focused, direct look as the water moves from one rocky ledge to the next.

The land around Broken Falls became part of Grand Teton National Park when Congress established it in 1929, bringing federal protection to this section of Wyoming. Before that, the valleys and streams here were used by Native American groups and later by fur trappers, leaving the landscape largely unchanged.

Broken Falls drops from the eastern flank of Teewinot Mountain, a peak of the Cathedral Group in the Teton Range. Its meltwater feeds Moose Pond beside Jenny Lake, so the same stream that forms the falls also fills a pond where moose are often seen. The name refers to the seven separate drops that break the descent.

Broken Falls lies on the eastern flank of Teewinot Mountain in the Cathedral Group of the Teton Range, and the water it carries drains into Moose Pond near Jenny Lake in Jackson Hole. The falls drop about 300 feet (91 m) in seven steps, so the descent is broken rather than a single plunge. Approach from the Jenny Lake area, where the Moose Pond outlet sits below the falls.

Broken Falls drops about 300 feet (91 m) in seven separate steps down the east flank of Teewinot Mountain, a peak of the Cathedral Group in the Teton Range. The stream then empties into Moose Pond near Jenny Lake in Jackson Hole. The name refers to the broken, stepped line of the cascade rather than to a single plunge.
