Paintbrush Canyon, Mountain canyon in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, United States.
The canyon extends through granite formations and alpine meadows, reaching an elevation of 10,700 feet at Paintbrush Divide with views of surrounding peaks.
Glacial movements and erosion over millions of years shaped this canyon, carving deep valleys and creating the current geological formations visible today.
The canyon serves as a connection point between String Lake and Lake Solitude, forming part of a traditional hiking circuit in Grand Teton National Park.
The complete Paintbrush Canyon trail spans 20 miles and requires 11 to 14 hours to complete, with an elevation gain of 4,480 feet.
The trail maintains snow coverage at Paintbrush Divide until mid-July, requiring specialized equipment for early season crossings through this alpine environment.
