So these were the trails that would have been dry if it hadn’t snowed last night. Things will hopefully melt off tomorrow but be wary of the transition from frozen mornings to sunshine as the trails will turn slick and you will take a lot of mud home with you. Your best bet is to […]
Trees, trees, big trees! The crew did some more clearing on Arrow, Snotel, Ridge, Ski Lake, and Black Canyon this week and cleared a few dozen trees including some big firs and spruce. We cleaned drainage on Big Rocks, Blacks, and Ski Lake and started laying out some of the project work in Black Canyon […]
The crew had another busy week. We worked our way up Game and West Game focusing on brushing, drainage, and weeds. We cleared lower Blacks, Big Rocks, Crater, and lower History and are headed out to the pass bash on Saturday to get some free shuttle rides to chainsaw and clear the Arrow, Snotel, Ridge […]
Message for the weekend! The ground it pretty saturated and with more rain on the way it may be a better idea to walk, ride, or gallop on the pathways this weekend. Footprints and hoofprints make the trail muddier for longer as each indentation holds small puddles of water, and tire tracks channel water down […]
The trails in the Cache-Game area are almost totally snow free with just a few drifts lingering on the north side of the Cache-Game divide and the Ferrin’s saddle. The 5 way meadows in upper Wilson Canyon are also pretty wet with spring runoff. There are still some trees down in the burn area on […]
More trails are opening up with the warmer temps. Sink or Swim is clear from Josies to Ferrins with just the lingering snow in the ski area to cross. The Sidewalk to Wiggle to Putt Putt loop is popular as always and the first part of Hagen and lower Ferrins is dry as well. Crystal […]
A few more trail options are dry for this weekend. The lower trails on the Josie’s Ridge side are almost 100% snow free and should make for some good loop options. Josie’s Ridge was snow free up to the old snag tree and Sink or Swim was clear until you get closer to the Snow […]
The trails are still pretty muddy and snow covered this week. Your best bet is to head south of town on the trails between Adam’s Canyon and Game Creek and explore some up the canyons til you find mud or start postholing through the snow. Crystal Lite and Crystal Butte are also good options with […]
For the first trail report of the season there is not much to report. Lots of snow still melting and a few dry trails down south of town between Adam’s Canyon and Game Creek. If you’re are really itching for dry dirt head down that way and link up to the A&W trail at the […]
This week the wildflowers are peaking on the Snow King Trails. We did more work in West Game and Wilson Canyon with the MCC crew as well as some work on the Ridge trail. We finished the last section of the S 89 trail with some great volunteers from a YMCA camp and then we […]
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.
