Open Canyon is a cool place found in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, United States. It's a special valley that was carved out by huge glaciers a long, long time ago.
These giant ice rivers moved slowly across the land. When they melted about 15,000 years ago, at the end of the last big ice age, they left behind this amazing U-shaped valley.
Open Canyon is located between some big mountains like Mount Hunt and Prospectors Mountain. You can also find Coyote Lake near the top of the canyon. If you want to visit, you can get there by hiking on the Open Canyon Trail.
