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.
🚨 Pathway closure near Gregory Lane!🚨 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 “Pathway Closed” 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!
🚨 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. 🚨
Second Pass Bash of the summer is coming up! Help us close out summer the right way! 🤙🏼
On Saturday, September 20th we’ll have free shuttles from 11am-3pm, raffle prizes, free bike demos, free bike tunes, and more! 🚵♀️

We’ll see you out there this Saturday, booth 106! Come say hi! 🚵♂️
@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:
🚴🏼♀️💨 Know and obey the speed limit
🛑 STOP at stop signs
👈 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!
🚨🦺 🚧 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!
🚦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
🚵 Know that sidewalks are an option when you feel unsafe in the road, especially for younger kids on their way to and from school!
👕 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! 🍎🚴♂️
As you prepare to make biking to school part of your daily commute, here are some pointers for you and your family!
🔧 Safety check your bike before leaving the house. Make sure brakes are working properly
🧥 Dress appropriately for the cool morning weather and wear a helmet
📍 Plan your route to school with your family- the safest routes will be along the pathways
Safe and happy biking to school! ✨

Trail Conditions 6-16-17
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTeton Pass is melting out slowly but surely. Most of the south side trails are in good shape except for upper Blacks, Lithium, and History trail which remain in the snow zone. The north side trails have patchy snow but are passable. Ski Lake has intermittent snow up to the Phillip’s Pass junction and the Arrow, Snotel, Ridge loop has been cleared of trees and the trail is ~50% free of snow. Good for people on foot but not so much for bikes or horses. The BPA road however is almost entirely free of snow and lets you connect to the lower Ridge Trail which is cleared and snow free. Snow King and the Munger Mountain trails are all in good shape and crews addressed many of the water problems from last weeks run off. There were a few new trees down from the storms last week so if you see any blocking the trails let us know and we’ll get them cleared for you!
Trail Conditions 6-9-17
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trail word of the week is High Water! Use caution when crossing creeks and inspect bridges before crossing. In particular Bridge 3 in Cache Creek has water flowing over it, and the Crater and Lower History bridges broke under heavy winter snow load. The trails are holding up well in spite of this with only a few scattered seeps and some damage from creeks flowing onto the trail itself. The crews have been working hard to divert water off the trails back into the creeks, saving the day on Phillip’s Canyon, Blacks, West Game, Game, and Wilson Canyon to name a few. More good news, all of Snow King is open and cleared with the exception a few trees we left at the top of Wilson Canyon just before the wash out to slow people down. The Skyline Trail remains closed until July 1 for elk calving, please respect this closure. Teton Pass is opening up too with good options being Big Rocks, Lower History, Crater, and Black Canyon for the first 2.5 miles. Parallel and the Jumps Trail are dry although Jimmy’s still has some snow and muddy spots. Phillip’s Canyon is clear almost to the Arrow junction and the Ridge Trail is good up to the switchbacks just below rock world. The Ridge would be my recommendation for an out and back adventure this weekend. Remember to tag any problems you see on the trails with #jhtrails as a quick way to let us know where we should go work next week!
Trail Conditions 6-2-17
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe theme of the spring is trees down on the trails. This week the crews cleared 22 trees off of Hagen and Putt Putt, 16 trees off of Crater and Lower History, and a whopping 91 trees off of Ferrins, Wilson Canyon, and West Game. I would suggest that as the outing for the weekend, the burn section is really interesting with all of the trees blown over in the same direction. The upper sections of Cache and Game are still holding snow and have a few wet spots and trees left to clear. Old Pass Road is also open thanks to Team Jackson Hole, it is worth a trip to the top to see the 6 foot banks of snow. The rest of Teton Pass is slowly melting out and trails can be accessed as out and backs from the lower trailheads. If you notice down trees or other trail problems tag them in social media with #jhtrails and we will get out to fix the problem asap!
Trail Conditions 5-19-17
News & Announcements, Trail Updates, UncategorizedThe trails continue to dry out and the crew had a busy week clearing 162 trees off of Wilson, Ferrin’s, and the Munger Mountain trails. Munger is in good shape with only a few seeps and wet spots and a few trees left on Wally World where we ran out of time and gas. Ferrin’s is dry up to the bottom of the meadow but there are several feet of drifted snow above that. The upper reaches of Hagen and Putt Putt are also slowly melting out and you can make it several miles up Game Creek with a few spots where the creek is on the road or water is bubbling out of gopher holes but it is passable. On Teton Pass Parallel is in good shape and the lower parts of Crater, History, Old Pass Road, Blacks, Ridge, Phillip’s Canyon, and Big Rocks are melting out and make good excursions to find where the snow line is each day. The crew will be clearing trees and cleaning drains there starting next week. Remember when we do get precipitation a good gauge of when the trails are dry enough to not cause damage is when the roads start to dry out. Have a great weekend!
Trail Conditions 5-12-17
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTrails are still slowly melting out with lower Cache Creek and Sink or Swim and below being your best bet for the weekend with the Hagen side still covered in patchy snow and mud. The crew found some carnage this week with a waterfall flowing down the steep section of Wilson Canyon and ~40 trees down on the upper part of Ferrins. The full USFS and FOP crew is on starting Monday and will be clearing the high number of downed trees resulting from the heavy snow and ice load and high winds this winter. We will aim to get Munger and some of the lower trails on Teton Pass cleared early next week!
