π¨ Pathway closure near Gregory Lane!π¨ Starting Monday, September 29, 2025
The Town of Jackson and Evans Construction will be installing stormwater infrastructure and preparing the ground surface for roadway, curb and sidewalk near the crossing of the bike/pedestrian pathway on Gregory Lane.
A pathway closure and detour is necessary to route pathway users around the construction zone.
Plan on this pathway closure to begin today, Monday, September 29, 2025 and remain as necessary while crews install new utilities and road surface features.
Expect βPathway Closedβ and detour signage routing cyclists/pedestrians around the construction zone.
Signage will be placed at the pathway junction south of the tunnel under S. HWY 89, at the junction adjacent to the Middle School ball fields, and other common access locations.
Please obey the closure and detour signage and plan a little extra time on your bike/walk commute around this area.
We are mourning the loss of former FOP employee and dear friend, Jay Pistono. An amazing diplomat for responsible recreation and one of the friendliest people on the planet. Teton Pass won`t be the same without you Jay - RIP
UPDATE - the closure has been extended to include Thursday September 18, and Friday September 19!
π¨ The portion of the pathway between Russ Garaman Park and US89 will temporarily close between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 16, and Wednesday, Sept. 17. The closure allows pedestrians and bikers to access the pathway during morning and afternoon hours, per Parks & Rec. Dates and times are subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. π¨

@cfjacksonhole #oldbills2025
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:
π΄πΌββοΈπ¨ Know and obey the speed limit
π STOP at stop signs
π 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!
π¨π¦Ί π§ 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!
π¦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
π΅ Know that sidewalks are an option when you feel unsafe in the road, especially for younger kids on their way to and from school!
π 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! ππ΄ββοΈ
As you prepare to make biking to school part of your daily commute, here are some pointers for you and your family!
π§ Safety check your bike before leaving the house. Make sure brakes are working properly
π§₯ Dress appropriately for the cool morning weather and wear a helmet
π Plan your route to school with your family- the safest routes will be along the pathways
Safe and happy biking to school! β¨

Trail Conditions for 7-5-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesWell we made it to the 4th of July with some patches of snow left on the Arrow, Black Canyon, and Lithium trails due to a pretty good snow year and a cool spring.Β Everything is passable out there with a little bit of walking over the few remaining drifts.Β Crews cleared the Ridge, Phillip’s Pass, and Black Canyon this week as well as fixing a hole in the Arrow trail where an avalanche tore out a tree and roots across the middle of the trail.Β The crew also shored up the bridge at the end of the Arrow trail, improved the switchbacks on the eastern side of Skyline, and cleared and opened Skyline for the year.Β We also worked with a great group from Teton Science Schools who helped to build a turnpike on the Cache Creek trail.Β Have a great holiday weekend!
Trail Conditions for 6-28-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesChris P likes to say that the Teton Pass trails are always good to go by July 4th, and it looks like it’ll be right down to the wire this year.Β Snow drifts remain in shaded north facing areas and ridges and while passable provide some difficulty.Β The Cache Game area and Munger Mountain are in great shape and our youth crew was able to install several turnpikes on Wilson and West Game this week to improve it before the Cache Creek Mountain Bike Race.Β The Snow King Hill Climb running race is this Saturday and the Cache to Game running race is also coming up on July 13 if you’re looking for a fun run or hike.Β Next week the crew will be working on clearing Blacks and Ski Lake to Phillips Pass as well as clearing and opening the Skyline trail for the season on Monday July 1!
Trail Conditions for 6-21-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe longest day of the year should be the warmest right?Β With cool temps the trails are still in great shape and slowly melting out.Β Most of the south facing trails on Teton Pass are good to go but there are still drifts lingering in the north facing trees.Β The Teton Freedom Riders are having their first Pass Bash of the year tomorrow so head by the coach for a shuttle ride up the pass.Β Everything on Snow King is dry and good to go and our ambassadors have been clearing some new downed trees from the winds this week off of Putt Putt and West Game.Β Our Youth Trail Crew started this week and this hearty bunch had a busy week, unloading the 12,000 lbs of rock from the helicopter drops on Josie’s Ridge, clearing and cleaning drainage on Crater and History, brush cutting for line of sight on KC, and building a turnpike and reroute around a beaver pond on West Game.Β Look for the crew out on the trails this summer and remember they always love treats after a hard days work.
Trail Conditions for 6-14-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTree clearing, bridges, and helicopters what a fun week!Β The crew cleared Big Rocks and Black Canyon up to Bridge 3 before hitting snow and Cam Eddy and an unknown trail Samaritan cleared Phillip’s Canyon and the Ridge trail from Fish Creek up to the snow line.Β A few riders reported they were able to ride Arrow to Phillip’s Canyon with some hiking over snow drifts in the middle and also the Ridge trail by linking sections of Arrow, Snotel, and the BPA road to avoid most of the snow drifts.Β The crew also replaced the bridge on the Phillip’s Canyon access trail from Fish Creek Rd. that had developed a crack after 2 winter of record snowfall.Β Thursday we also had a ton of help from Teton Helitack, literally 12 tons of help from their training session where they dropped off twelve 1,000 pound loads of rock on Josies Ridge to continue the trail reinforcement project that we have been working on for a few years.Β Josie’s Ridge is a the top end of what the soils here can sustain for trail steepness and by shoring up the steepest portions of the trail we can help ensure it retains its character as an uphill challenge for years to come.
Trail Conditions for 6-7-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesYay more rain!Β The trails have definitely reached their saturation point since yesterday and should be avoided until it dries out on Sunday.Β When it is like this I like to stay to the roads like Cache, Game, the BPA road, and even the Summit Road at Snow King.Β They have much more gravel and are more hard packed so it is less likely you will damage them while recreating.Β The Old Pass Road is also a good option and is plowed all the way to the top.Β The crews are going to push up the Teton Pass trails next week and see how much we can clear before hitting the snow line.Β Thanks to everybody who came and helped with National Trails Day projects in Cache Creek last Saturday!
