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.”

Trail Conditions for 9-8-16
News & Announcements, Trail Updates, UncategorizedWe are working to finish the last 2 miles of the Skyline Trail. We are working downhill towards the Game Creek Trail narrowing the wide bench that the trail machine built to support itself. This involves pulling down the backslope to prevent erosion, slightly outsloping the tread and making it 18 inches wide, and raking away the excess dirt on the downhill edge to allow snow and water to drain off the trail and to allow any vegetation covered up to regrow more quickly. Crews will be working throughout the fall and into next spring to complete this project.
Skyline Trail Connected, not Finished
News & Announcements, Skyline Trail, Trail UpdatesAfter a ton of hard work by everyone involved the crews made a rough connection on the Skyline Trail this week. I emphasize rough! The trail is passable and we encourage people to go explore it but to heed all closures and instruction by the crews working on the trail. There are several switchbacks where crews could roll debris onto the trail below and when they are working the trail may not be passable so plan that into your outings. Know that crews will be continuing to work into the fall to cut the backslope, rake the outslope, and narrow and improve the tread. The photo above illustrates the full bench cut the trail machine made so it didn’t roll down the side of the mountain and as he works his way back the machine and handcrews will be improving the backslope and slightly outsloping the trail for better drainage. Both of these will narrow the tread behind the machine and we will end up with a nice singletrack trail. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far and feel free to stop while you’re out there and help the crews for a few minutes, I hear they also love cookies…
Ferrin’s Trail
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesYou may have noticed some trail names and junctions changing in Cache Creek this summer. This is part of a larger signage project Friends of Pathways is working on with the Bridger-Teton National Forest. One of the first parts of the process was to simplify trail names, especially connector trails, and to consolidate dog leg trail junctions into simple 4 way junctions. With help from volunteers from STIO and Lillard Flyfishing over last weekend we were able to finish one of these reroutes on the Ferrins/Hagen/River trail junction. If you take a look at the map above you can see the old names and alignment and the new, the main difference being bringing the River to Hagen Connector Trail and the Tiny Hagen trail together at 1 junction and renaming all of this the Ferrin’s Trail. We did this for 2 reasons, one being the surplus of trails with Hagen in the name (Hagen, Hagen Highway, Hagen River, Tiny Hagen) and the other being that Ferrins is one of the more popular trails and finding it was difficult as it used to start miles up from the trailhead through a combination of junctions. So get out for a hike or bike and try out the “new” 3.36 mile Ferrin’s Trail.
Youth Trail Crew Update
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe Friends of Pathways Youth Trail Crew has been hard at work this summer on projects on around the Bridge-Teton National Forest. They have installed several dozen rock steps and drainage features on Josie’s Ridge and the Woods Canyon trails, built the new Nelson Knoll trail and installed a new bench at the overlook, improved the Ski Lake trail above the lake to the ridge line, dug parts of the new Skyline Trail, pulled weeds in Game Creek, mapped weeds and trail problems on the East Table Creek trail, moved several tons of gravel to turnpikes on the Big Rocks trail, and cleaned hundreds of drainage features and improved line of sight on almost all of the trails in the front country system. A big thanks to them for their hard work and to Mountain Khakis for supplying them all with uniforms for the summer. Look for them out on the trails!
FOLLOW THE YOUTH TRAIL CREW! @FriendsOfPathways on Instragram We’ll Be Taking An In-Depth Look at the #YouthTrailCrew During Their Last Week of the Summer!
Skyline Trail Update
News & Announcements, Trail Updates2 Miles of the Skyline Trail are Finished! To date we have had 159 volunteers and 38 dedicated trail crew members from FOP, the BTNF, SCA, and MCC help to build the trail. The Montana Conservation Corp is currently camped on the ridge and will be building the middle section over the next 5 weeks. The BTNF and FOP Youth Crew cleared the first 1.5 miles from the Cache Game divide this week and the local crew from DIRT will begin building from the eastern end of the trail next week. Thanks to everyone who has donated time, money, and sweat equity to this project, it is great to see the community come together and invest in a trail that can be enjoyed by all for years to come. Get out this weekend and explore the new views and wildflowers on the Skyline Trail.
