Adams Canyon Connector Trail Update
Our Trails Manager was able to finish the connection of the Adams Canyon Connector trail on the Rafter J side this week. As of now the trail connects from the pathway on the west side of Hwy89 through the old cow tunnel to the top of Adams Canyon Road on the east side. In the spring we will host a volunteer dig day for the community to help us connect the Adams Canyon Road to the Wilson Canyon Trail.

If the weather forecast proves correct, we won't be hitting the trails this weekend. But that means plenty of time to check out TCSAR’s 6th Annual WYSAW event! It's free and a great way to prepare for your winter backcountry adventures. The lineup includes industry-leading perspectives on decision making, risk management, and snow science plus adventuring in the Covid era.

Thanks to assistance from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, FOP purchased two radar speed sensors to help remind people to slow down along congested areas along the pathways. We received an unprecedented number of complaints this summer about bikers not adhering to common sense or courteous speeds, especially while passing people on foot. While this equipment will not fix all of the issues, we hope it will remind people to slow down while passing their friends and neighbors (and don’t forget to use your bell to let people know you are headed their way). If you pass one of the radar units, make it SMILE! This means you are traveling at a speed that is appropriate for that section of pathway. Thanks for working with us to make the pathways fun and safe for everyone!

Kudos to The Liquor Store for adding a new mode of transportation to their delivery fleet this summer: an E-bike! In addition to having a lower environmental and traffic impact, adding e-bikes to the delivery fleet will allow TLS employees to make deliveries more efficiently during rush hours, and even enjoy some bonus outdoors time. Keep an eye out for the TLS delivery bikes on local roads and pathways, where they will be taking extra care to deliver their precious cargo safely!

274 trees cleared in 3 days!!! And they're not done yet.
Our 2 man trail crew put in a ridiculous amount of work after the storm last week so you can get out and enjoy our local trails! Riding bikes with chainsaws on their backs, they cleared 274 trees in the Cache Creek trail network in just 3 days. They will be clearing Wilson Canyon today and moving to the Teton Pass trails next. If you enjoy hiking and biking on our local trails please consider a donation through Old Bill's Fun Run to support this work - it's all funded by donations! And if you see Chris Owen or Mike Piker out on the trails be sure to give them a virtual high-five!
Also a big shout out to Harlan at Teton Freedom Riders and Tim and Randy the USFS for clearing up Lithium and then down Blacks. One team one dream out there!
