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 continued working on some new footbridges on Cache Creek between Noker Mine and the Wilderness boundary. We used the griphoist to swing the logs into place which involved some tree climbing and pulley work. The crews then peeled the logs, milled them flat on top, and built approaches to easily step […]
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 […]

The built a turnpike on the Big Rocks trail and cleared brush along all of those sections of trail. We also cleared trees off of Big Rocks, […]
It looks like we will have some hero dirt for the July 4th weekend. All of the trails are drying out after the rain this week and are in great shape. The trail crew cleared the Skyline trail on Wednesday and cut 31 trees so everyone can enjoy a long adventure with great views on […]
This week there is just a bit of lingering snow on Teton Pass but everything is getting to be very passable. If we get another week of warm temps we should make the July 4th date of all the trails being snow free and dry. Our youth crew has been hard at work over the […]
Teton Pass got some fresh snow this week so the trails up high will likely be a bit muddy in spots and there are definitely drifts lingering on ridges and in north facing tree cover. The crew cleaned drainage and added fill to bridge approaches and turnpikes up Black Canyon and saw some bikers coming […]
