Garnet Canyon is in the heart of the Teton Range and is surrounded by some of its most famous and prominent peaks like the South and Middle Teton, the Grand Teton, and Disappointment Peak. This magnificent spot is a challenge to get to and is where many climbers attempting the Grand Teton camp before their summit push. The beginning of the canyon is marked by a seasonal waterfall and large boulderfield that requires some Class 3 scrambling and boulder hopping to cross. After the boulderfield is an alpine camping area in Garnet Canyon known as the Meadows. This high-elevation spot is an amazing place to gaze up at some of most famous, rugged peaks in the Teton Range. If you're planning on hiking up to the canyon, I recommend stopping at Jenny Lake Ranger Station to check in with a backcountry ranger about conditions.
