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. 🚨

@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! ✨

Cache Creek Road Closed Until Further Notice
Trail UpdatesConditions at Cache Creek have become increasingly icy and difficult to manage. The road was closed over the weekend, but vehicles did attend to drive up to the trailhead, many getting very stuck. People are still welcome to walk, ski, or bike into the area
The Bridger-Teton National Forest staff ask that the public please stay off the Cache Creek Road until further notice. A facility tech did attempt to open the Cache Creek road on Monday, but was unsuccessful. On Thursday, conditions significantly deteriorated and the snow base turned to slush overwhelming the capability of a plow on a pick-up truck. Despite the road closure, vehicles did attempt to drive up to the trailhead over the weekend with many of them getting very stuck.
Currently, only one lane is open up to the Cache Creek trailhead and it is VERY icy. It does not allow safe passage for both incoming and outgoing vehicle traffic. The USFS is unable to plow the road at this point without damaging equipment or potentially tearing up the road. Patrollers will still cover the area and check conditions daily.
Cache Creek Road is closed until conditions improve. People are still welcome to walk, ski, or bike into the area but recognize that there is no parking. Please do not block driveways in the residential area.
New Singletrack Grooming Approved for Cache Creek this Winter
News & Announcements, Trail Updates, WinterWe are excited to announce that Friends of Pathways, Mountain Bike the Tetons, and Teton Mountain Bike Tours have worked with the Bridger-Teton to pilot a Singletrack Trail Grooming program in Cache Creek for this winter. This program which is being supported by donations at our Crowd Rise campaign site and will include a mixture of snowmobile and human grooming on 10 miles of trail. Cache Creek saw an average of 286 trail users per day last winter, 66.1% hikers, 14.7% bikers, 10.3% runners, and 8.9% skiers. This program will help to maintain a compact groomed trail surface for all trail users that is wide enough to allow people to pass each other without stepping off into deep snow on the side of the trail. We worked with the BTNF to provide options close to the trailhead as well as additional grooming farther up the drainage to help spread out use. We also are grooming upper Cache Creek road to Noker Mine an extra day each week to help bolster Parks and Rec’s grooming efforts. If you enjoy using the trails in the winter take a look at our Crowd Rise site to learn more about FOP and MBT’s joint venture to groom trails in Jackson, Victor, and Driggs!
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.
