Summer is here complete with afternoon thunderstorms! The trails this week got a couple of good rain events to keep the dust down and help speed up the last of the snow melt. There is still snow lingering on the highest ridges but most things are passable. The crews worked on a new jump line on Parallel, cleared trees off of History, Crater, Arrow, and Phillip’s Canyon, fought weeds in Game Creek, Putt Putt, and Nelson Knoll, and stained benches. Heads up the single log bridge on Arrow section A3 broke this winter. We are working on funding some new bridge lumber to replace it and the last of the log bridges on the system with the dimensional lumber. We have done a big push over the last 15 years to make sure there are no more water crossings on the frontcountry system. So far we have built or replaced 41 bridges and 99 turnpikes, this helps improve the trail experience but also protects the many creeks and springs that the trails cross. Thanks to all the folks who came out to National Trails Day events last weekend and helped with trail work!

Good news! The pathway along North Highway 89 opens Saturday, April 19! This opening is earlier than the usual opening of April 30. Sweet!

In coordination with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation is sweeping and cleaning the pathway north of Jackson adjacent to Highway 89 today to ensure the pathway is clear of debris before it opens for users on Saturday, April 19.

As wildlife continues to migrate from the National Elk Refuge, please take caution when using the pathway and give wildlife the right-of-way.
