Skip the traffic and enjoy the ride over to The Center for the Arts, for Bike to Work Wednesday, 7:30-9:00 am! This week we are partnering with @cowboycoffeeco, @thecenterjh and @891khol
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 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!
