The Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in about 1935. The log structure is in the extreme southwest backcountry of Grand Teton National Park. The cabin was built according to a standard design for such structures in the National Park Service Rustic style. The Moran Bay Patrol Cabin is similar.{{cite web|url=http://wyoshpo.state.wy.us/NationalRegister/Site.aspx?ID=455|date=2008-08-13|work=National Register of Historic Places|title=Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin|publisher=Wyoming State Preservation Office}}{{Cite journal|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin|url={{NRHP url|id=98001043}} |format=pdf|date=1997 |author=Janene Caywood, Ann Hubber and Kathryn Schneid |publisher=National Park Service}}
