Middle Teton Glacier lies on the northeast flank of Middle Teton in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. The alpine glacier is a popular route for ice climbers and for parties heading to the summit of Middle Teton and other nearby peaks, sitting at the west end of Garnet Canyon, the most popular approach used by climbers ascending Grand Teton. Its meltwater feeds streams below, including the 80-foot Spalding Falls, and between 1967 and 2006 the glacier lost about 25 percent of its surface area, shrinking from 52 to 39 acres.
