... the junction with the Cascade Canyon Trail; left here up Cascade Creek, which is milky with glacial rock flour. Water ouzels dart from wall to wall, diving suddenly for fish. The canyon deepens, and the creek cascades between sheer rock walls several thousand feet high. Cascade Canyon is the deepest chasm in the Teton Range.
