Pica’s Day is this Thursday!!! 🌮 Come on out to Pica’s Mexican Taqueria and 20% of proceeds all day will go to Friends of Pathways! In the evening from 5-7 pm, we will have a bike decorating station, @hobacksports will have free bike tunes, and the first 30 folks to bike over will get a free Friends of Pathways hat! 🧢 See y’all there!! 🌮🚲✨
We are about 2 weeks ahead of schedule on trail melting out this year. The old bet was everything would be snow free by July 4th but there are only a few passable snow drifts left on the upper parts of Teton Pass. The trail should be very inviting this weekend with cooler temps and a little rain this morning to knock the dust down. This week crews cleared upper Ski Lake, Phillip’s Pass, and upper Black Canyon, treated weeds at Munger, replaced some pathway counters, surveyed some new connector trails, dug drainage on Black Canyon, and string trimmed around the trailheads. Get out there and enjoy!

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.
The Teton Park Road is plowed and ready for joggers, cyclists and even rollerbladers. People can enjoy 14 miles of snow-free pavement from Taggart Lake Trailhead to Signal Mountain Lodge, all without worrying about traffic until May 1.
@yellowstonenps enthusiasts have their chance to enjoy car-free roads too. Nearly 50 miles of road between the west entrance in West Yellowstone and the north entrance in Gardiner opened to non-motorized travel on April 5.
Enjoy!
✌️ ❤️ 🚲

Trail Conditions for 5-31-19
News & Announcements, Trail Updates, UncategorizedFinally some sunshine! 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. 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. 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. You can also explore Munger and the lower portion of the Teton Pass trails. 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. With the snow last night and rain in the forecast the upper elevations that were getting dry are pretty slimy and slick. 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. The crew this week cleared Ferrins and Wilson Canyon and they are both dry up to the meadows. 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. The crew also cleared the lower parts of History, Crater, and Black Canyon on the pass. 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. 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. 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. 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!
