• Trail Updates

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.

With all of the trails open now we wanted to focus on a new issue on the forest – E Bikes.  Currently E Bikes are not allowed on any trails in the Snow King or Teton Pass areas but there are a few areas where you can ride them.  Munger Mountain is open to motorized vehicle from July 1 to Sept 9, there is a new series of loops going in at Mosquito Creek that are designed for motorized singletrack, and the Horsetail and Bubba’s Trails near slide lake allow motorcycles and E Bikes.  Please take the time to read the Bridger-Teton press release at the link below and use E Bikes only on designated trails.

The trails are open!  Teton Pass, Munger, and Snow King trails are melted out and have been cleared and are in great shape.  Thanks to the USFS Trail Crew, the FOP Ambassadors, and the Youth Trail Crew for all of their hard work.  Also check out the improved trails at the Nelson Dr. trailhead.  The Western Governors helped rebuild the trail to Nelson Knob and the Youth Crew improved the Woods Canyon trail and added rock steps and drainage.  They also added drainage to the Black Canyon trail and the Wilson Canyon trail and cut back the willows in the upper meadow so those 2 trails should be at the top of your list for a weekends adventure!

Teton Pass trails all almost fully dry!  Get out this weekend and check out the Arrow, Ridge, Snotel, History, Phillip’s Pass, and Ski Lake Trails which have only a few small snow patches remaining.  Everything has been cleared of trees but if you find any new trees down after the storms this week let us know though social media or #jhtrails and we will get the crews out to clear them!

Teton Pass is melting out and the Ridge Trail is passable either by crossing a few snow drifts or by using sections of the BPA powerline road.  The Arrow Trail makes a nice out and back with the first 2 miles of trail being 95% snow free.  You can also get most of the way to Ski Lake before you hit snow.  The Cache-Game and Munger trails continue to be in great shape and if you want to help make them better come out for National Trails Day at the Nelson Dr. trailhead tomorrow from 9-12!

With 3 days of sunshine predicted the trails should dry out from all of this rain and be in great shape for Memorial Day weekend.  Teton Pass is melting out slowly but surely and most of the Freeride trails are good to go.  If you’re looking for a hike go check out the new steps on Josie’s Ridge that the crew installed this week.  Have a great holiday weekend!
