Bannock Falls is a waterfall in Teton County, Wyoming. Height has not been officially recorded. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Bannock Falls is a cascade located at the entrance to Garnet Canyon, Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The cascade drops over 200 feet (61 m) and is intermittent, fed by runoff from snowmelt and the Middle Teton Glacier. The falls can be reached by way of the Garnet Canyon Trail and is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) by trail south of Lupine Meadows. The falls can easily be seen from the Bradley Lake Trail.
Is the water flowing right now?
Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
