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 sits in Teton County, Wyoming. The falls are inside Grand Teton National Park, a US National Park. The base sits at roughly 7,823 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 14 minutes from Teton Village. A trail — Garnet Canyon Trail — runs within 390 meters of the marked location. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely. This is one of the more frequently visited falls in the state by our popularity model. Source records come 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.
