Fall is in the air and that means Election Day is coming up. We want you to get out and exercise your right to vote! Before you make that important decision, we thought you might want to know the candidates’ positions on pathways and making walking and biking a preferred mode of travel in Jackson. Kudos […]
This summer the Friends of Pathways (FOP) trail crew worked on the following projects as part of our Cache Creek and Game Creek Trail Improvements. We had some alterations due to Covid-19 but were able to complete most of the project. Invasive Weed Mitigation – Teton County Weed and Pest ceased working with groups in […]
This week the crew started on the new Game Creek connector trail. This trail will connect the Game Creek trailhead to the S. 89 pathway and will provide safe access from the neighborhoods along S. Hwy. 89 to their public lands without having to take a trip in a vehicle. We hope this will help […]
This week the crew finished up the last new log bridge up Cache Creek. These are a fun endeavor where the crew gets to use the griphoist to maneuver the several thousand pound logs into place, a good physics lesson in action. We then installed a new culvert on the Phillip’s Connector trail where the […]

This week the crew went up Game and West Game and brushed back willows and rebenched narrow outsloping sections of trail. They also continued the good fight against Musk Thistle which has crept up the drainages over the years. It looks like the beavers have also moved up canyon and there are several new pool […]
