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.

Please spread the word! See you Wednesday.

Trail Update: April 30, 2014
Trail UpdatesTrail update content.
PassWords: Control Your Dogs
Trail UpdatesIt’s been a pretty incredible winter up on the pass. We’ve enjoyed Endless Powder and a parking lot full of friends. Jay Pistono, Friends of Pathways Pass Ambassador, has been impressed with the incredible cooperation on Teton Pass this year. People are carpooling, ride sharing, parking close together, and choosing their lines wisely.
As the season comes to an end, we ask you to remember one more important thing: keep those dogs under control. We suggest you bring a leash for controlling your dog when unloading. When you’re ready to depart, you can let your dog off the leash. Then, you’ll be sure to scoop that inevitable poop. Also, bring your leash in case you encounter wildlife. Please don’t let your dogs chase moose or any other animals. It’s very stressful for them and winter is challenging enough.
The Pass Ambassador is a community-driven program with partner support from Friends of Pathways, Bridger-Teton National Forest, Teton County Search and Rescue Foundation, and Wyoming Department of Transportation. The AmPassador program is also sponsored with generous direct support from Outdoor Research. Please remember to thank these great community-minded organizations!
Winter Grooming Wraps Up in Grand Teton National Park and Teton County
Trail UpdatesLast Friday marked the end of Winter Grooming in Teton County. Some highlights of this year’s grooming program, run by Teton County Parks and Rec, were the addition of a new half mile track at May Park and 15 miles groomed on Teton Park Road in Grand Teton National Park.
Grand Teton Park Foundation found that there are enough funds to extend the grooming in the park by one more week. Friday, March 21 will be the final day for grooming on Teton Park Road.
Teton Park Road will be open for recreation until March 24th when the GTNP staff will begin snow removal. When the plowing is complete (in mid-April) the road will be open for pedestrians and cyclists only. The road will reopen to vehicles on May 1. Full Press Release
Friends of Pathways thanks the JH Nordic Alliance, Teton County Parks and Recreation, Grand Teton National Park, and Grand Teton National Park Foundation for their role in funding and implementing a weekly grooming program from Bradley Taggart Parking to Signal Mountain Lodge.
PassWords: Responsible Users Get Sweet Rewards
Trail UpdatesWell it doesn’t take much observation to know that, this year, the Pass is full of SNOW – lots of it! According to FoP Pass Ambassador, Jay Pistono, the parking lot has been full over 400 times since mid-November. President’s weekend logged the most traffic, with the parking lot cycling through at least 6 times in a day. That’s a lot of cars and people visiting the top! To encourage good behavior up there, local businesses, ProBar, Skinny Skis, Pearl Street Bagels, Clean Snipe and Wilson Backcountry Sports donated reward items for Jay to distribute to those Pass goers who exhibited excellent Pass Protocol. According to Jay, there are a lot of you who make an effort to carpool, control your dogs, pick up your garbage and dog litter, park within designated areas and respect the terrain and your fellow drivers, skiers and boarders. Thank you!
