With the weather this weekend it seemed like a good time to remind people about when not to use the trails. Our trails hold up well to the amount of use they get and because they get so much traffic they tend to be very compressed and shed water well, especially with the 1000’s of […]
Over the last 2 weeks we have been busy taking care of a bunch of small projects including clearing trees off of the Skyline, Game, West Game, and Wilson Canyon trails. We have been brushing, fixing signs, looking for signs (if anyone knows the whereabouts of the Lithium sign I would very much like it […]
The last 2 weeks were busy ones. The youth trail crew finished up their season by clearing trees off the ridge trail with Randy, then they cleaned all the drains on the Big Rocks trail. After that they built a turnpike in Black Canyon, braced the kiosk at the Trail Creek trailhead, and shored up […]
This week the crew worked on rebenching some switchbacks on the Ferrin’s Trail and breaking off the corner of the Ferrin’s Rock. After a hearing more stories of bike crashes there (handlebars are getting wider right?) and having to try and shore up the half bench trail that dips under the rock on a steep […]
This week the crew worked with another great volunteer group from the Beckett YMCA for 2 days on the West Game trail. They built a turnpike and a small reroute at a seasonal runoff between bridge 3 and 4. They also built a causeway to raise the approach to bridge 3 above the creek which […]
This week the crew built a turnpike on the Phillip’s Connector trail and worked with Randy and Cam to buff out sections of the Ridge trail. Their main project this week however was closing and rehabbing 38 short cuts on the Sink or Swim trail. I’ll start with some history, the Sink or Swim trail […]
This week the crew teamed up with a great volunteer group from the Beckett YMCA to build 2 bridges on the History Trail. These are a continuation of the Teton Bridge Project from last year bringing the grant total to 17 bridges built or replaced on the Teton Pass trail system. The dimensional lumber bridges […]
All the front country trails are good to go! After a slow start tot he summer the warm weather has melted back the snow and its a prime time to get out on your favorite trails. This week the crews finished a turnpike in Cache Creek, improved all the drainage ditches around the Crater bridges, […]
Well we made it to the 4th of July with some patches of snow left on the Arrow, Black Canyon, and Lithium trails due to a pretty good snow year and a cool spring. Everything is passable out there with a little bit of walking over the few remaining drifts. Crews cleared the Ridge, Phillip’s […]
Chris P likes to say that the Teton Pass trails are always good to go by July 4th, and it looks like it’ll be right down to the wire this year. Snow drifts remain in shaded north facing areas and ridges and while passable provide some difficulty. The Cache Game area and Munger Mountain are […]
