Great news: @tetoncounty and the @townofjacksonwy were recently awarded $600,000 from the Federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. This plan will prioritize projects and policies to improve safety and mobility for all users of the region’s transportation system. The aim: To prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. This plan will guide the future development of the pathway and active transportation networks across our community.

The first phase of the Wilson to Stilson Pathway and Wilson School Underpass will be open beginning tomorrow Saturday, November 4, 2023.
Phase 1 of the Wilson to Stilson Pathway begins at the Stilson Transit Center and ends at the Teton Raptor Center. The pathway includes the Wilson School Underpass. Phase 2, which consists of the Fish Creek Pathway Bridge over the creek, is expected to be completed in early June 2024.
“We are thrilled to open the completed Wilson to Stilson pathway, a Teton BUILD Grant project, and the Wilson School Underpass,” says Teton County Public Works Director Heather Overholser. “These projects are the result of years of work by many community members and partners across the county, who acknowledge the importance our pathway system plays in our transportation goals.”
“Pathways play a key role in how we safely and efficiently move around our neighborhoods and valley,” says Pathways and Trails Coordinator Brian Schilling. “Families and individuals on the south side of Highway 22 have been championing this critical connection for years. We look forward to seeing people of all ages enjoying the pathway this weekend as they move around Wilson and the greater pathway system.”
✌️ ❤️ 🚲
You’re invited to celebrate Tim Young, his career, and his significant contributions to our pathway network on Wednesday, September 27 at 5 p.m at Hungry Jacks in Wilson.
Tim recently retired and his friends, colleagues, and fellow walk and bike enthusiasts want to thank him for his years of tireless work to envision and create a safe, separated pathway network in Teton County, as well as his work creating walking and biking networks in other Wyoming communities, and beyond.
Please spread the word! See you Wednesday.

Trail Conditions for 5-17-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThere are a few more dry trails but with 10 days of rain in the forecast be responsible when choosing to go out. The rule I like to follow is wait for the roads to dry in town before venturing out onto trails to avoid damaging them while its too muddy. That being said the north side of the Cache Creek drainage is pretty good to go with a few snow patches hiding on the end of Putt Putt. Additionally you can get up the Hagen Highway and across Sink or Swim with only about 100 feet of snow on the ski area. Munger Mountain is also close, the crew cleared all the trails there and cleaned drainage features on Monday. There are only a few snow drifts left there on Wally World and Tusky Ridge. Watch for the crew working on some more steps on lower Josie’s Ridge doing some more clearing up Game and West Game next week.
Trail Conditions for 5-10-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesAfter some MORE snow this week the trails are still drying out. The Sidewalk to Wiggle to Putt Putt loop will be the hot spot this weekend. The crew cleared some trees and chopped up a few snow drifts this week and it is about 99% dry with one or two big drifts lingering in the trees. Also everything west of the Snow King ski area to Josie’s Ridge is dry and cleared as well. The general rule for the rest of the trails is head out and be prepared to turn around if you start to hit mud/snow. The full BTNF crew starts Monday and we’ll be out clearing the trails at Munger so we’ll give a report on that next week.
Trail Conditions for 5-3-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesAfter a snowy week we finally got some sunshine today and have a few more trails open and dry that were in the winter wildlife closure zones that opened up on Wednesday. Crystal Lite and Crystal Butte are both good options in the sun as are the first parts of Putt Putt and the Sidewalk. A volunteer group from the Community School helped to break up some of the snow drifts on those trails this morning to help them dry out a little faster. In west Jackson, lower Josies, Kellys, Lindas, KC, Champa, and parts of Sink or Swim are dry as well. Further south the lower parts of Adams, Wilson, and Game Creek are also dry. If you are exploring and come to a snow drift walk over it on the trail and please don’t short cut and create a trail around it. The trail is also typically muddy to the down hill of the drifts so please walk and push your bike along the edge of these muddy sections. Have a fun weekend!
Trail Conditions for 4-26-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesSo the record February snows set trail season back a bit this year. The only things that are dry on the national forest at the moment are the Nelson Knoll Loop, and the first mile or so of Game Creek. In some of the shadier areas you can hike and post-hole on snow but please try to avoid using muddy sections of trail as this causes trail damage and drainage problems for the rest of the summer. Other trail options include the singletrack that parallels the pathway from Game Creek to South Park Loop road and the pump park and singletrack by Blair Dr. When using the pump park please by considerate of nearby neighbors by staying in the park and keeping the noise level down. All of the pathways are dry and open and the inner park road is plowed and open to non-motorized use through May 1. Also remember the winter wildlife closures are still in effect until May 1 but the good news is that means Josie’s Ridge opens up on Wednesday next week!
Trail Conditions for 7-27-18
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe crew has had a whirlwind couple of weeks out on the trails. They finished four bridges in Black Canyon and one in Phillip’s Canyon with the help of Carney Logan and Burke Architects who had 30 volunteers haul lumber and rocks to finish the bridge just this morning. The style of bridge we are building assembles quickly but the slow part is hauling all the lumber miles into the forest to the bridge sites and then getting rocks, gravel, and dirt for the approaches. Anyone interested in what we call “trail crew crossfit” should come out with us one day. The crew also cleared Phillip’s Pass and Ski Lake, brush cut Putt Putt and Hagen, and cleaned all the drains on those trails. We also had help from Lillard Flyfishing who brush cut the Kelly’s and lower Josie’s Ridge loop which was getting overgrown in places. We are still working with Wildflower Watch and Nature Mapping JH to monitor plants, animals, and trail use in Cache Creek each week to look at long term trends. Next week look for the crew working with more volunteers on bridges on the History Trail and West Game. ps they like taking a funny picture after finishing each bridge so feel free to suggest something for the next one.
