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.
The Sidewalk Trail now starts where the pavement ends on Cache Creek Drive. The trail has been extended thanks to the help of Leadership Jackson Hole and Jackson Hole Youth Mountain Biking. Hopefully you find this trail more fun than the road! Get out there and use it!
Let’s keep the good times rolling this week over at Healthy Being Juicery!! 🍵🪴
We’ll have coffee, treats, and good vibes with @jhlandtrust, Wednesday 7:30 am- 9am, make sure you don’t miss it!! 🚲🥭🥙🍪
Heads up! 🚨 Starting Monday morning, July 28, the section of pathway from the middle school fields to the tunnel under S89 will be closed due to construction on Gregory Lane. A Pathway Closure and Detour is necessary to route pathway users around the construction zone. See map for detour route, which utilizes the pathways on high school road and S89 (follow the yellow dotted lines). The main pathway route will reopen as construction crews advance north on Gregory Lane.
Can’t make it to Bike to Work Wednesday this week?? Swing through Garaman Park from 7:30 am-9:30 am tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. Ryder Benjamin will be selling “On the Go Burritos” for a $7 suggested donation to support an educational trip to Europe he is taking through school next summer. 🌯🌍
Pica’s Day is this Thursday!!! 🌮 Come on out to Pica’s Mexican Taqueria and 20% of proceeds all day will go to Friends of Pathways! In the evening from 5-7 pm, we will have a bike decorating station, @hobacksports will have free bike tunes, and the first 30 folks to bike over will get a free Friends of Pathways hat! 🧢 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!

Seasonal Closure of the N89 Pathway
Trail UpdatesREMINDER: The Elk Refuge Pathway will being its seasonal closure on November 1 to reduce conflicts with migrating or wintering animals and to maintain the National Elk Refuge’s mission.
The pathway will reopen on April 1, 2015.
A seasonal closure was a key condition of the agreement between Teton County and the National Elk Refuge for pathway use on U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service property. Another alternative identified during the planning process called for locating the pathway on the west side of the highway with fewer restrictions, but public comment supported the east side placement despite the seasonal closure.
Comment on Scoping for the Greater Snow King Area by September 26th
Trail UpdatesTake Action!
We need you to show your support for the Greater Snow King Area Trail Projects Scoping by commenting before September 26th.
Let the Bridger-Teton know you support the Greater Snow King Area Trails Project. They has done an excellent job of putting together a trail plan that Friends of Pathways enthusiastically supports. The plan will build new trails that reduce user conflicts, while repairing resource damage and will balance recreational use with the need to protect important wildlife habitat.
This document proposes five new projects: Skyline & Putt-Putt Extension trails, Nelson Drive and Josie’s Ridge hiking specific trails, and a reduction in the season for motorized use in Game Creek. For the complete document or project map
In your comments please:
1. Support the plan to build new trails, reduce user conflicts, repair resource damage and balance recreational use with the need to protect important wildlife habitat.
2. Commend the BTNF for releasing a clear and concise scoping document that “address[es] improvements needed to make the summer trail system work better for all visitors.”
3. State that you support all five proposed projects: map of proposed projects
4. Add a personal comment to let them know why you value the Greater Snow King Area.
Read the complete document and make your comments by September 26th.
