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.
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 5-12-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesA few more trail options are dry for this weekend. The lower trails on the Josie’s Ridge side are almost 100% snow free and should make for some good loop options. Josie’s Ridge was snow free up to the old snag tree and Sink or Swim was clear until you get closer to the Snow King ski area. Putt Putt and Woods Canyon were good from the Nelson Dr. over to the Cache Creek trailhead, and the Sidewalk trail was clear up to around the Wiggle. The first mile or so of Game Creek above the gate is good too. In general head out and explore and if you are on dry dirt or snow you are good to go, but avoid pushing further if you are getting muddy or having to walk off trail to avoid mud and snow. Enjoy the sunshine and look for the crews out on the trails working hard!
Trail Conditions 5-5-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trails are still pretty muddy and snow covered this week. Your best bet is to head south of town on the trails between Adam’s Canyon and Game Creek and explore some up the canyons til you find mud or start postholing through the snow. Crystal Lite and Crystal Butte are also good options with just a few drifts on the corners. Another good easy outing is the old horse trail along the Wilson Centennial pathway. It parallels the pathway from Wilson to Stilson and is a good option for a ride with little ones on strider bikes, a run off of the pavement, or a dog walk when then pathway is busy. The FOP and BTNF crews start next week so we will be out poking around and seeing what trails are dry and clearing any down trees. If you see a tree across the trail or any other problem use the Trail Maintenance Request button on our page and let us know where the tree was, how big it is, and if it is a big mess with lots of branches etc.
Trail Conditions 4-28-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesFor the first trail report of the season there is not much to report. Lots of snow still melting and a few dry trails down south of town between Adam’s Canyon and Game Creek. If you’re are really itching for dry dirt head down that way and link up to the A&W trail at the junction with the S 89 pathway near Rafter J and use the underpass to climb up to Adam’s Canyon Dr. and head south on the A&W trail over to the Wilson Canyon trailhead. This section is outside of the Winter Wildlife Closures which are still in effect until Monday May 1. You can then cross the highway to the S 89 pathway and head south along the S 89 Singletrack to the Game Creek tunnel. There you can hop on the Game Creek trail and go up to the trailhead and explore a bit farther to see how much snow has melted above the gate. If you are out skinning and exploring other areas this weekend remember to obey the Winter Wildlife Closures and Dog Leash Zones and hopefully there will be some more dry trail by next weekend.
Trail Conditions for 7-1-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the wildflowers are peaking on the Snow King Trails. We did more work in West Game and Wilson Canyon with the MCC crew as well as some work on the Ridge trail. We finished the last section of the S 89 trail with some great volunteers from a YMCA camp and then we opened the Skyline trail! We cleared 25 trees before we ran out of gas so there are 6 trees still down on the eastern side that we will go back and get tomorrow. It should be a beautiful weekend out on the trails so get out and enjoy!
Trail Conditions for 6-24-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesAnother busy week on the trails. We hired a crew from the Montana Conservation Corp who are helping to get Teton Pass open. We cleared down Black Canyon and History Trail and will be hitting Ski Lake and Phillip’s Pass this weekend. Black Canyon had just a little bit of snow left near the summit of Mt. Elly but was in great shape otherwise. We also cleared some of the user created trails in the nordic corridors at the base of Black Canyon. What we are calling the OPR Loops will be reviewed by the USFS this winter to see about adopting them onto the trail system, but in the meantime they make a nice quiet series of loops on relatively flat terrain. We then switched gears and hit the infestation of musk thistle in Game Creek to prevent it from spreading further onto the forest. We also had a great group of volunteers from the Teton Trail Runners who helped us install some stump seats at the Ferrins saddle for a well deserved rest after that climb. Finally we cleared some newly blown down trees on West Game, Wilson Canyon, and on the Cache Creek Road. If you see any new trees down after a wind storm use the trail maintenance request button to let us know about them and we will get out to clear them. Enjoy the warm temps and clear trails this weekend!
