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 5-31-19
News & Announcements, Trail Updates, UncategorizedFinally some sunshine!Β This week helped the Snow King trail system dry out and it is now 99% snow free with a few lingering wind drifts near the top of Ferrins and the north side of the Cache Game divide.Β The trail crews have cleared almost everything so it should be a good weekend to get out and explore, or better yet start your Saturday at National Trails Day at the Cache Creek trailhead to help Friends of Pathways and the Bridger-Teton with some trail projects in the morning.Β We will have coffee and bagels before and beer and brats after to thank you for your hard work keeping the trails in good shape.Β You can also explore Munger and the lower portion of the Teton Pass trails.Β The crew will start clearing at Phillips Canyon next week and work up as the snow line recedes.
Trail Conditions for 5-24-19
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesAhh the winter that keeps on giving, we are still about a month behind last year in the trails drying out around the valley.Β With the snow last night and rain in the forecast the upper elevations that were getting dry are pretty slimy and slick.Β There may be some opportunities to get out during dry spells this weekend but I would recommend staying low and avoiding shady north facing trails.Β The crew this week cleared Ferrins and Wilson Canyon and they are both dry up to the meadows.Β Wilson Canyon has more water damage to the trail as the old cow retaining pond at the top has failed and water is running down the canyon for about a mile until it disappears underground.Β The crew also cleared the lower parts of History, Crater, and Black Canyon on the pass.Β There is still a lot of snow lingering in the trees there, but Jim Verdone was able to plow Old Pass Road so that is a good dry option.Β If you see Jim give him a big thank you for all the work he is doing to keep the Old Pass Road in usable shape.Β Have a fun weekend and hopefully we will get a little sunshine.
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.Β 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.Β 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.Β Additionally you can get up the Hagen Highway and across Sink or Swim with only about 100 feet of snow on the ski area.Β Munger Mountain is also close, the crew cleared all the trails there and cleaned drainage features on Monday.Β There are only a few snow drifts left there on Wally World and Tusky Ridge.Β 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.Β The Sidewalk to Wiggle to Putt Putt loop will be the hot spot this weekend.Β 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.Β Also everything west of the Snow King ski area to Josie’s Ridge is dry and cleared as well.Β 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.Β 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.Β Crystal Lite and Crystal Butte are both good options in the sun as are the first parts of Putt Putt and the Sidewalk.Β 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.Β In west Jackson, lower Josies, Kellys, Lindas, KC, Champa, and parts of Sink or Swim are dry as well.Β Further south the lower parts of Adams, Wilson, and Game Creek are also dry.Β 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.Β 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.Β Have a fun weekend!
