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.

In the fall and the spring, hundreds of students in Jackson Hole bike to school, thanks to Teton County’s well-connected pathway network. @friendsofpathways wants to make sure kids get to school safe, so once a year we do bike safety checks at the middle school - the epicenter of e-bikes! Many thanks to @wheelwranglers @openrangecycles @hobacksports and @thehub_jh for helping do bike safety checks this year.
