Teton Canyon
This is a beautiful canyon on the West side of the Teton Range accessed from Driggs, Idaho. A handful of rock routes are available, and in the winter, a few ice climbs. The rock routes primarily face South (southwest and north) and can be hot in the summer. The canyon is bustling with activity in summer, but it seems very few people bother to actually climb here so. The rock routes are (mostly) located on a (9) granite formation(s) at (near) the end of the road. The ice climbs are located among the limestone cliffs on the south side. (as well as up canyon, in wilderness, on both granite and limestone)
(Climbing opportunities are also found at the Teton Rock Gym in downtown Driggs. Automatic belays, treadwall and excellent setting on boulders and walls. Inexpensive. Open 3-8:30pm)

Getting There
Despite accessing this canyon from Idaho - you are actually in Wyoming. The border of Idaho/Wyoming is small town of Alta you pass through on Ski Hill Road.
In the summer, you can drive to the end of the road to access the rock climbs. Park at the end of the road. Take the major trail up the canyon, and you'll quickly see a climber's trail branching off to the left. Follow this trail for 5-10 minutes to reach the crag.
For winter ice climbs, park when the road is closed to traffic and ski/snowmobile up the road to the ice climbs. Expect 1-1.5 hour approach to access the ice climbs.
