Be nice, say hi
🙌 Rolling into the weekend with a fresh seal coat on the village road pathway!
Thanks to @tetoncounty for the much-improved pathway sealing protocols, with sealing across the minor access roads and the addition of high-visibility crosswalks at the known conflict locations.
Sealing across the driveways protects the investment and saves money in the long run. It also provides an excellent surface to paint crosswalks that are highly visible, last longer, and improves safety for everyone.
We hope this will continue to be the standard treatment for seal coating. The bold ladder-style crosswalk is much more visible to both the drivers and pathway users, and it would be ideal to make this the standard for the pathway system. ✌️ ❤️ 🚲
Good news: The pathway that crosses Greogory Lane will be open for the first week of school! Sweet!
However, it will close again for the construction crew to install a storm line, curbs, and gutters. The Town will notify the community when that closure is necessary and place signs for bikers and pedestrians to follow a detour.
Bridger-Teton National Forest is excited to implement parking lot and sign improvements at Nelson Drive Trailhead. The trailhead area and adjacent trails will be closed temporarily for approximately two weeks to reconstruct the existing parking area into a more efficient and sustainable design that better accommodates visitors and protects soil, plant, and water resources. The project includes regrading the existing native surface road to address chronic erosion and drainage issues. The trailhead will be closed from Monday, August 25th through Friday, September 5th.
Nelson Knoll Loop, Water Tank Road, Lower Putt Putt, Woods Canyon, and Crystal Lite trails will be temporarily closed during construction. Putt Putt, Woods Canyon, and Crystal Butte trails can still be accessed above the closure area from Cache Creek Trailhead.
While the trailhead is closed during the reconstruction project, technicians will gather geo-
technical information adjacent to the existing Forest Service housing units that will inform future Forest Service housing plans.
During the Nelson Trailhead reconstruction project, local pedestrian neighborhood access to Putt Putt and Woods Canyon Trails may occur from the Henley Access Trail off Nelson Drive. Trail users planning to park should use Cache Creek Trailhead.
🚨 Over 1 Million trips have been taken on the Teton County pathways so far this year! 🚨
That’s a 16 percent increase in use over last year at this time. Good job, team!
Every time you step onto the path, you’re making a healthy choice. Keep walking, biking, running, roller blading, and lollygagging on the Black Ribbon of Bliss - let’s make this a record-breaking year for pathway use in Jackson Hole!

The Sidewalk Trail now starts where the pavement ends on Cache Creek Drive. The trail has been extended thanks to the help of Leadership Jackson Hole and Jackson Hole Youth Mountain Biking. Hopefully you find this trail more fun than the road! Get out there and use it!
Heads up! 🚨 Starting Monday morning, July 28, the section of pathway from the middle school fields to the tunnel under S89 will be closed due to construction on Gregory Lane. A Pathway Closure and Detour is necessary to route pathway users around the construction zone. See map for detour route, which utilizes the pathways on high school road and S89 (follow the yellow dotted lines). The main pathway route will reopen as construction crews advance north on Gregory Lane.
Can’t make it to Bike to Work Wednesday this week?? Swing through Garaman Park from 7:30 am-9:30 am tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. Ryder Benjamin will be selling “On the Go Burritos” for a $7 suggested donation to support an educational trip to Europe he is taking through school next summer. 🌯🌍
