Wow mid May and the Cache/Game trails are snow free! Some heavy wind on Wednesday brought down some new trees on the trails. Crews re-cleared Putt Putt, Hagen, Ferrins, Sink or Swim, and the River trails. We also got to Tusky Ridge at Munger and the beginning of Arrow and all of the Ridge trail, 77 trees total this week! The Munger trails are in good shape and are so green right now, especially the meadows on the state land. If you are out there this weekend explore downhill to the north on either the Poison Creek or Tusky Ridge connectors and check out the trails there. Teton Pass is also melting quickly and we only saw a few snow drifts left today on the Ridge trail. Next week we will push up Ski Lake and upper History and see about clearing down Arrow to Phillip’s Canyon. If you see any new trees down from the recent storms let us know and have a fun weekend out on the trails!

While we boast 70+ miles of pathways in Teton County, many neighborhoods remain disconnected from the pathway network.
A prime example is the neighborhood on Andersen Lane (next to Calico) in Wilson. There are more than 30 elementary school age kids in this neighborhood alone who cannot access the pathway due to the nonstop flow of high speed traffic on HWY 390.
Luckily, there is a request for $200,000 in the Pathways 2027 budget for initial planning and design for the WY390 Eastside Pathway Project. This project would put a pathway on the east side of 390 and could potentially include a pedestrian underpass (The FY27 budget starts July 1).
The Board of County Commissioners will be discussing the Pathways budget on Monday, May 18.
Public comment will be taken.
Please show up and remind @tetoncounty about the importance of having Every Neighborhood Connected to the pathway network.

The Cache/Game trails are almost totally dry with the last bit of snow lingering on the Ferrins and Cache/Game saddles and on the ski runs. Munger is also in great shape with only some snow on the upper ridge of the Big Munger trail. Teton Pass trails are snow free up to about 7500 feet in elevation. Crews this week cleared, Crater, lower History, Big Rocks, lower Blacks, lower Phillip’s Ridge, Josies, Kellys, Lindas, and Wilson Canyon. We will be helping on some other projects next week and then back to the upper parts of Teton Pass as the snow melts back. Trails of the week is the new Trail Creek Connector and OPR Loops, they make a fun lollypop loop from the bottom of Trail Creek road with lots of options in the 5 OPR Loops, and great views of the Sleeping Indian on the Trail Creek Connector. Have fun out there and enjoy the sunshine!

Getting Wilson Elementary properly equipped for iWalkiBikeiBus day tomorrow. A pathway came very close to Wilson School, but actually delivered kids to HHR Ranch Road, which has vehicles turning from and on to HWY 22, making for a less than ideal situation for kids on bikes. So we worked with the school, busted down the fence, laid some gravel down, and voila - a safer situation. Swipe on for the iWalkiBikeiBus Schedule.
May is Bike Month in Jackson, Wyoming! Our mayor even said so.
