Snowshoe Canyon is located in Grand Teton National Park, in the U. S. state of Wyoming.[2] The canyon was formed by glaciers which retreated at the end of the last glacial maximum approximately 15,000 years ago, leaving behind a U-shaped valley.[3] Snowshoe Canyon splits into an upper and lower canyon. The source of the upper canyon is near Talus Lake ({{convert|9670|ft}}) while the south canyon is situated between Rolling Thunder Mountain to the north and Raynolds, Traverse and Bivouac Peaks to the south ({{convert|9600|ft}}). Near the fork of north and south Snowshoe Canyon lies Dudley lake. The canyon terminus is at Moran Bay on the southwest side of Jackson Lake, below Eagles Rest Peak.
