Waterfalls Canyon

Waterfalls Canyon is located in Grand [Teton National Park], in the U. S. state of Wyoming. The canyon was formed by glaciers which retreated at the end of the last [glacial maximum] approximately 15,000 years ago, leaving behind a U-shaped valley. Waterfalls Canyon is south of Ranger Peak and north of Eagles Rest Peak and the entrance to the canyon is along the western shore of Jackson [Lake (Wyoming)|Jackson Lake], directly across the lake from the Colter Bay Village. There are several cascades in the canyon, including Wilderness [Falls (Teton County, Wyoming)|Wilderness Falls] and Columbine Cascade, which descend from an unnamed lake below Ranger Peak.
