CACHE CREEK

OVERVIEW

ABOUT

The Cache Creek and Greater Snow King Trail Systems on the Bridger-Teton National Forest have the most dense concentration of trails in Jackson Hole. Running, cycling, hiking, and horseback riding options are just minutes from town.

Be prepared to share-the-trail as the first mile near the trailhead can be crowded at certain times of day. Even with the heavy use this area receives, wildlife is abundant and includes moose, bear, mountain lion, deer and many bird species. Make sure to pay attention to your surroundings and be prepared to encounter wildlife on the trail.

Over the last five years, we’ve counted one million people who have walked, run, or biked through Russ Garaman Park. We think that’s worth celebrating!

Join Friends of Pathways this Friday afternoon, September 24, from 4-6 p.m. in Russ Garaman Park for food, drinks, and music as we say Thanks a Million for putting our pathways to good use.

And remember - you count!

From Tues., Sept. 14 at 5 pm to Wed., Sept. 15 at 5 pm, enjoy a complete protected bike route through the town of Jackson! The temporary protected bike lanes were made to help get Jackson Elementary students safely to school during iWalk, iBike, iBus to School Day, but they also help you safely navigate our congested streets, as well. So get out there and have a great time biking all the way down Snow King Avenue and all the way down Willow Street, separate from cars! 🚲 ✌️#bikepath #bikelane #bollards

Friends of Pathways has launched the Teton Trails Project to take a fresh look at the current trail system in Jackson Hole. Our aim is to identify deficiencies and prioritize future improvements in the trail network – and we need your input!

Please take a moment and go to the link in our bio to use the interactive map to vote for your top five trail projects, propose a new route, let us know of an on-going maintenance issue, an area you want to access, or an area of conflict. (This may be easier on a desktop computer!) Future improvements will take your comments into account as well as cost, environmental impact, sustainability, safety, accessibility, and the trail-user experience.

With over 600,000 user visits a year to the 130 miles of front country trails, it’s time to think about what might benefit the much-loved local trail system now, and into the future.

Skyline Trail is officially open! Cleared 19 trees on Skyline today and 2 on River Trail on the way back. Enjoy!

Thanks for letting us know about downed trees or other trail areas that need maintenance. Our trail crew maintains 130 miles of front country trails in the Cache Creek, Munger Mountain and Teton Pass areas. Please consider making donation to help fund this work by donating online.
