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.
Great news: @tetoncounty and the @townofjacksonwy were recently awarded $600,000 from the Federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. This plan will prioritize projects and policies to improve safety and mobility for all users of the region’s transportation system. The aim: To prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. This plan will guide the future development of the pathway and active transportation networks across our community.

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.”
✌️ ❤️ 🚲
You’re invited to celebrate Tim Young, his career, and his significant contributions to our pathway network on Wednesday, September 27 at 5 p.m at Hungry Jacks in Wilson.
Tim recently retired and his friends, colleagues, and fellow walk and bike enthusiasts want to thank him for his years of tireless work to envision and create a safe, separated pathway network in Teton County, as well as his work creating walking and biking networks in other Wyoming communities, and beyond.
Please spread the word! See you Wednesday.

Teton Pass Trails
Trail UpdatesI visited Phillips TH yesterday, half way up Teton Pass and I can report snow on the Ski Lake, Phillips, Arrow, Ridge and Snotel Trails. At this point those trails are not in use, unless you have X-C skiis. Could be the end of the season for these trails, unless we get some sustained warm weather. If you want to use the BPA road to get your firewood, better do it now since the road is becoming snow covered to the HG/PG launch. This may all change, but it is looking a lot like winter up there as of yesterday.
From the Trail Creek TH, I took a walk on History Trail and back down Crater Trail. It is bit muddy but open and provide a nice walk, Crater being somewhat muddy for bikes. Big Rocks is a choice, good drainage in there makes this trail passable late into the season. As always the Old Pass Road remains a choice for walking and riding. Maybe we should asphalt all the trails, no mud problems then.
Machinery working for the reminder of the week on the Crater Jumps and Parallel Trail.
You might find the Phillips Ridge Trail from the Fish Creek TH usable, same with lower Phillips Canyon Trail, start from the bottom and sooner or later you will run into mud and snow, at that point turn around and come home. I have not visited that area. EJ and I will be in there soon pulling kit out for the winter and I will get back to you with information.
