Middle Teton Glacier is located on the northeast flank of Middle Teton in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.[1] The glacier is a popular mountaineering route for ice climbing and for access to the summit of Middle Teton and other peaks to the south. The glacier is at the west end of Garnet Canyon, which is the most popular route used by climbers ascending Grand Teton. The glacier melt feeds streams below including Spaulding Falls, an 80 foot (24 m) high cascade.
