What a weird year so far! The trails are melting out much faster but are still muddy in spots when the rain and snow moves through. A big thing to remember this early is that the Winter Wildlife Closures are still in effect for 2 more weeks until May 1. When you are out exploring remember to stay out of the spots in purple on the map and keep your dogs leashed in the orange areas. Good spots to check out when the sun is out are south of town on the S 89 singletrack and down into Game Creek. Sidewalk and Putt Putt and lower areas around the base of Snow King are also a good bet. Check out the new connector trail from the Trail Creek pathway up to the bottom of Black Canyon as well. Munger Mountain is also mostly dry and a good early season option. Don’t forget to enjoy the pathways and to get up into the park to use the inner road this month when it is only open to pedestrians. As you get out and explore shoot us an update if you see any down trees or other problems with the Trail Maintenance Request button at the top of our page. Have fun and be safe out there!

Steve never stops.
When riding your e-bike, remember to follow traffic signs and stop at the stop signs.
Don’t be like Steve!
The bike lanes are back, and earlier this year thanks to the warm weather. Early season conditions exist - like some sand and winter road debris, and there is a detour around Garaman Park. So be careful on your first ride of the season and remember to:
1. Be nice, Say hi!
2. Keep right, pass left
3. Ring your bell when passing
4. Be pro, go slow around others
5. Stop at the stop signs
Many thanks to @tetonparksandrec , @townofjacksonwy , and @tetoncounty for getting these lanes in early this year.
🙌 The North Highway 89 Pathway is set to open this weekend! 🙌
Thanks to this year’s warm, early-season weather, the pathway north of Jackson along Highway 89 is opening nearly three weeks ahead of schedule, giving the community an early start on spring biking, walking, and outdoor recreation.
Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation, in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is preparing the pathway to open this Saturday, April 11.
Pathway users are asked to use caution and give wildlife the right of way as animals continue to migrate off the National Elk Refuge. The public is reminded to provide wildlife plenty of space and to continue honoring wildlife closures until they are lifted May 1.
🚨 Garaman Pathway Safety Upgrades To Close Pathway Through Mid-May ⚠️
Beginning April 7 through mid-May, the pathway through Garaman Park will be temporarily closed while important safety improvements are installed. As pathway use continues to grow — including increased e-bike activity — the @townofjacksonwy and @tetoncounty are making thoughtful upgrades designed to help everyone travel safely and comfortably.
The project will introduce features that naturally encourage slower speeds through the park, including a small roundabout, rumble strips, pavement markings, and chicane gates that guide cyclists through a gentle S-turn. These tools help create a calmer environment where walkers, runners, families, and riders can share the pathway with greater confidence.
During construction, the pathway will be closed from just west of the Flat Creek Bridge near the Josie’s Ridge trailhead to the tunnel at the south end of Hidden Ranch. Clearly marked detours will direct pathway users via Powderhorn, Meadowlark, and the east side of US 89 / West Broadway. Cyclists using sidewalks along US 89 should please yield to pedestrians. Access to Garaman Park will remain available via Crabtree Lane, and access to KC Ridge, Josie’s, and Forest Service trails via Elk Run Lane will resume once seasonal wildlife closures lift on May 1.
We are grateful to the Garaman Family’s Charitable Foundation for supporting this investment in community safety. These improvements reflect our shared commitment to a pathways system that works for everyone — helping keep Jackson a place where active transportation is safe, convenient, and enjoyable.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as this work is completed.
Cache Creek winter trails report for Thursday March 5, 2026: As you can imagine the warm temps and another round of rain have made the icy spots icier and more prevalent and melted out a lot more terrain, especially in the sunny spots. In short, it’s pretty sketchy out there!
