Friends of Pathways has a formal partnership with the USFS to collaborate on design, construction and stewardship of local trails for all users – hike, bike, horse, and ski. We’re committed to providing easy year round access to trails in order to maintain our high quality of life in Jackson Hole.
Trail conditions are much the same as last week. Cache/Game and Munger are good to go with still some snow lingering higher up on Teton Pass in the shaded areas. Crews this week cleared Phillip’s Pass, Arrow, and Phillip’s Canyon bringing our total of cleared tree to 322 for the year so far. Sounds like there may be a few new ones in West Game that we will get next week. We also worked on drainage in Cache after the heavy rains this week and restarted our war on invasive weeds on the Putt Putt and Game Creek trails. We are going to be doing some work out of the Cache Creek trailhead for National Trails Day next Saturday from 9-12 if anyone wants to come volunteer. Hopefully the rain holds off and you can get out on the trails this weekend!

See you there!!
The cooler temps and snow this week slowed down the melting of trails on Teton Pass. Crews this week worked on Poison Creek and Tusky Ridge at Munger, and History, Arrow, Snotel, and Ski Lake on Teton Pass. So far this year we have cleared 270 trees which is already double what we cleared last summer. All the heavy snow and high winds this winter left some tangled messes of blown down trees for us to clean up out there. We will keep pushing up Ski Lake and out Phillip’s Pass next week and try to clear down Arrow and Phillip’s Canyon. Hope everyone enjoys the sunny weekend!

While we boast 70+ miles of pathways in Teton County, many neighborhoods remain disconnected from the pathway network.
A prime example is the neighborhood on Andersen Lane (next to Calico) in Wilson. There are more than 30 elementary school age kids in this neighborhood alone who cannot access the pathway due to the nonstop flow of high speed traffic on HWY 390.
Luckily, there is a request for $200,000 in the Pathways 2027 budget for initial planning and design for the WY390 Eastside Pathway Project. This project would put a pathway on the east side of 390 and could potentially include a pedestrian underpass (The FY27 budget starts July 1).
The Board of County Commissioners will be discussing the Pathways budget on Monday, May 18.
Public comment will be taken.
Please show up and remind @tetoncounty about the importance of having Every Neighborhood Connected to the pathway network.

Getting Wilson Elementary properly equipped for iWalkiBikeiBus day tomorrow. A pathway came very close to Wilson School, but actually delivered kids to HHR Ranch Road, which has vehicles turning from and on to HWY 22, making for a less than ideal situation for kids on bikes. So we worked with the school, busted down the fence, laid some gravel down, and voila - a safer situation. Swipe on for the iWalkiBikeiBus Schedule.
May is Bike Month in Jackson, Wyoming! Our mayor even said so.

Trail Conditions for 7-24-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the crew continued working on some new footbridges on Cache Creek between Noker Mine and the Wilderness boundary. We used the griphoist to swing the logs into place which involved some tree climbing and pulley work. The crews then peeled the logs, milled them flat on top, and built approaches to easily step on and off of the bridges. We rebenched several sections of eroded parts of the Cache Creek trail where mud slides had occurred. They also added gravel to the ridge trail with ambassadors Randy and Cam as well as cleared a few fallen trees off of the trails. With the bit of rain this week the trails are in great shape so get out and enjoy the weekend!
Trail Conditions for 7-17-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the crew went up Game and West Game and brushed back willows and rebenched narrow outsloping sections of trail. They also continued the good fight against Musk Thistle which has crept up the drainages over the years. It looks like the beavers have also moved up canyon and there are several new pool and dams up West Game. The crew also took all our rigging in to Cache Creek to raise the Noker Mine bridge which has flooded the last few years. We were able to hoist it up, add more gravel under, set new higher sill logs, and make new approach ramps for the taller decking height. The crew worked with the USFS on the new Sheep Gulch take out trail adding a rope hand line along the steep sections of the trail. They also cleared the Big Kahuna Wave access trail and we surveyed the Rodeo Wall climbing trail for a project with the Access Fund and the Teton Climbers Coalition. With the dry weather the trails are a bit dusty so watch yourself and don’t slip or skid. DO however get out and enjoy a banner year for wildflowers, they are as vibrant as I have ever seen them!

Trail Conditions for 7-10-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the crew cleared drains on Putt Putt and upper Blacks. They re-stained and fixed up the benches on Nelson Knoll and Putt Puttat the town overlook. The built a turnpike on the Big Rocks trail and cleared brush along all of those sections of trail. We also cleared trees off of Big Rocks, Snotel, Arrow, and Skyline that fell within the last week. As you head into the weekend remember that the Old Pass Road paving project will be happening Monday-Wednesday next week so please plan accordingly and use other trails in the area, especially if you are biking Jimmys as it will be hard to connect to Parallel as they pave past Crater Lake.

Trail Conditions for 7-3-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesIt looks like we will have some hero dirt for the July 4th weekend. All of the trails are drying out after the rain this week and are in great shape. The trail crew cleared the Skyline trail on Wednesday and cut 31 trees so everyone can enjoy a long adventure with great views on the ridge this weekend. The crew also brushed Munger Mountain for better line of sight and respite going through the Aspen thickets. They cleared a bunch of drains this week that were filling up with sediments from all the rain. That is why these are so important to get water off of the trail so it doesn’t erode the tread. Similarly the crew closed shortcuts on Ferrins and Sink or Swim where people are trying to take a straight line. The natural swoop and grade reversals on the trails act as natural drainage points for water to flow off. Please don’t short cut because you are lazy or trying to get a faster Strava time, and call out your friends if you see them doing the same. Fun fact the newer trails like Ferrins and Arrow only have a few drains because they were designed to shed water. However older trails like Ski Lake and Phillip’s Canyon have over a hundred drains each because they tend to be too steep and in a straight line down the slope. Have fun, stay on the trails, and enjoy some good weather this weekend!

Trail Conditions for 6-26-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week there is just a bit of lingering snow on Teton Pass but everything is getting to be very passable. If we get another week of warm temps we should make the July 4th date of all the trails being snow free and dry. Our youth crew has been hard at work over the last two weeks, building lots of turnpikes, clearing drainage, brushing along trails, and building some new features at the Blair Dr. Bike Park. We also adopted a viewpoint trail on Teton Pass that branches from the top of the History Trail and heads out for a few hundred yards to an overlook above Devils Slide. The crew lovingly named this the Teton Tourist Traverse from the number of travelers we saw hiking out to take a picture. We also surveyed the north side of the Big Munger Trail with the USFS and the crews from DIRT and Crosscut Trails who have a grant to reroute and improve the Big Munger Trail. The new route avoids the fall line climbs up the fence line and ridge and instead will climb through some beautiful Aspen ridges. This really is one of the most stunning trails on the frontcountry system with views of the whole valley and amazing wildflowers. If you get a chance go check it out this weekend!
