Be nice, say hi
OLD BILL’S FUN RUN IS SATURDAY!
Friends of Pathways has been busy this year!
Between bike safety programming in our schools, a 9-week Bike to Work series, a Bike Film Festival, National Trails Day, Pass Bashes, and more, we are proud to spread community and safety on our pathways and trails.
Life in Jackson Hole is elevated by easy access to the robust pathway and trails systems, so let’s continue the good work! Please consider donating to Friends of Pathways this Old Bill’s giving season. Link in bio!
We’ll see you out there this Saturday, booth 106! Come say hi! 🚵♂️

We met up with Sergeant Traphagan this week to hear about the best ways to stay safe as we all transition into the school year. His advice:
🚴🏼♀️💨 Know and obey the speed limit
🛑 STOP at stop signs
👈 Signal your intent
If we all follow these rules of the road, we can make it through the school year without incident! Thanks to @jhpolicedepartment for these safety tips!
🚨🦺 🚧 A new pathway roundabout is being installed today 8/28/25 at the Stilson parking lot - near the tunnel that passes under Hwy 390. Expect delays! If you arrive here during construction, we will walk you around the construction zone. @tetonparksandrec @tetoncounty @townofjacksonwy
Friends of Pathways here, bringing you more Back to School safety pointers!
🚦When you are feeling unsure of what to do at an intersection, you always have the option to dismount your bike, become a pedestrian, and safely walk your bike across the crosswalk
🚵 Know that sidewalks are an option when you feel unsafe in the road, especially for younger kids on their way to and from school!
👕 Wearing bright colors can help you stay more visible to other bikers and drivers on the road. Wearing reflective materials can also help increase your visibility to other road users
Happy Back to School day to all those who celebrate! 🍎🚴♂️
As you prepare to make biking to school part of your daily commute, here are some pointers for you and your family!
🔧 Safety check your bike before leaving the house. Make sure brakes are working properly
🧥 Dress appropriately for the cool morning weather and wear a helmet
📍 Plan your route to school with your family- the safest routes will be along the pathways
Safe and happy biking to school! ✨
🙌 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!
Huge THANKS to everyone who came out to participate in our Bike to Work series over the past 9 weeks!! To celebrate a great summer of biking, we want to invite you to our Friends of Pathways Bike from Work wrap up party- August 21st, Snake River Brewing, 5 pm. Live music from @the_arrowleafs, bike raffle and free bike tunes from @hobacksports, and great vibes and pints from @snakeriverbrew 🚲🎶🍻
