ABOUT FRIENDS OF PATHWAYS

Founded in 1994, Friends of Pathways is Teton County’s champion for pathways, trails, bike lanes and sidewalks that encourage sustainable transportation and healthy recreation in our Jackson Hole community. Our decades-long work has resulted in a 70-mile multi-use pathway network and a 150-mile system of dirt trails that wind through Teton County, the Bridger-Teton National Forest and Grand Teton National Park. These assets are well-loved and used by thousands of people a day providing safe, enjoyable and accessible connections to work, school and Jackson Hole’s great outdoors.

Sunny warm days have the trails melting out quickly. This week crews cleared the Munger Trails and cleaned drainage features. The state land trails are dry and the lower Munger trails on the USFS are mostly passable with a few lingering snow drifts. We also cleared Hagen, Putt Putt, Game, Beaver Ponds, lower Wilson, Josies, Kellys, KC, Lindas, Champa, Shade Monkey and Sink or Swim. Most things below Sink or Swim are dry with a few snow patches, and you can get up to bridge 2 on Hagen before you hit snow. If you are looking for a bike to enjoy the trails and pathways this summer come out to the Bike Swap at The Hub this weekend. You can drop off bikes through 7pm this evening and then the swap is from 10-1pm tomorrow. It should be a warm sunny weekend to enjoy the trails so get out there!

The winter wildlife closures have lifted and the trails are melting out. You can explore up Game Creek and Putt Putt with only a few snowy spots left. The trails below Sink or Swim between Josie’s Ridge and Snow King are dry too but the Hagen side is still holding snow in the north facing trees. Also the Munger State Land trails are dry and a good place to explore now that the county has a lease there. We will be working to improve these trails over the next few summers. If you haven’t been out there park at one of the three pull outs on Fall Creek road to the north of the main Munger trailhead. The first is at the cattle guard and then there are two more on the east side of the road by some fence posts. It is a beautiful area with great view of Munger Mountain. Looks like we might finally hit 70 degrees this weekend so get out and enjoy the trails!

Trails are starting to melt out and with a 60 degree Saturday coming up it seemed like a good time to start trail reports for the season. The usual things are dry, the first part of Putt Putt and Sidewalk, the S 89 Singletrack and the Game Creek Connector. Sadly, A&W is not open this year until May 1, as the land managers reversed their decision and it is currently under winter wildlife closure. Elsewhere you can explore trails that are outside of the winter wildlife closures but be prepared to meet snow and mud. Hopefully with warmer temps and the May 1 opening there will be much more to report next week. As you get out and explore use our trail maintenance request button on our website to report any down trees or other problems. I have been poking around doing dirt work and drainage and will keep clearing and opening trails next week. Also if you need some early season stoke come out to the Bicycle Film Festival on Thursday May 1 at the Center for the Arts at 5:30pm.

Good news! The pathway along North Highway 89 opens Saturday, April 19! This opening is earlier than the usual opening of April 30. Sweet!

In coordination with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation is sweeping and cleaning the pathway north of Jackson adjacent to Highway 89 today to ensure the pathway is clear of debris before it opens for users on Saturday, April 19.

As wildlife continues to migrate from the National Elk Refuge, please take caution when using the pathway and give wildlife the right-of-way.

The Teton Park Road is plowed and ready for joggers, cyclists and even rollerbladers. People can enjoy 14 miles of snow-free pavement from Taggart Lake Trailhead to Signal Mountain Lodge, all without worrying about traffic until May 1.

@yellowstonenps enthusiasts have their chance to enjoy car-free roads too. Nearly 50 miles of road between the west entrance in West Yellowstone and the north entrance in Gardiner opened to non-motorized travel on April 5.

Enjoy!

The rise of e-bikes has brought a surge of positive and negative repercussions to our Teton County pathways. Friends of Pathways received an Opportunities Grant from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole to explore this topic, and whether changes in e-bike regulation, public education and/or pathway design would benefit the public.

We want to hear from you! Please take our e-bike use survey at the link in our profile. Now is your chance to share your thoughts with a larger group of pathway stakeholders, including Teton County, Town of Jackson, law enforcement and federal government representatives.

Take they survey at the link 🔗 in our bio !
