Glacier Falls is a cascade located in Glacier Gulch, Grand Teton National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[2] It drops approximately 300 feet (91 m) in Glacier Gulch, fed by runoff from the Teton Glacier. More than .5 miles (0.80 km) below Delta Lake, it is a highly intermittent waterfall, usually at peak flow during the late spring and early summer snowmelt.
