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.
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!

Good news! The pathway along North Highway 89 opens Saturday, April 19! This opening is earlier than the usual opening of April 30. Sweet!
In coordination with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation is sweeping and cleaning the pathway north of Jackson adjacent to Highway 89 today to ensure the pathway is clear of debris before it opens for users on Saturday, April 19.
As wildlife continues to migrate from the National Elk Refuge, please take caution when using the pathway and give wildlife the right-of-way.
The Teton Park Road is plowed and ready for joggers, cyclists and even rollerbladers. People can enjoy 14 miles of snow-free pavement from Taggart Lake Trailhead to Signal Mountain Lodge, all without worrying about traffic until May 1.
@yellowstonenps enthusiasts have their chance to enjoy car-free roads too. Nearly 50 miles of road between the west entrance in West Yellowstone and the north entrance in Gardiner opened to non-motorized travel on April 5.
Enjoy!

Trail Conditions for 6-21-24
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTeton Pass trails are almost snow free with some drifts remaining on the highest ridges and shaded north facing slopes. We cleared up Phillip’s Canyon to the Arrow trail and up to Snotel, and then down the Ridge trail. There were just a few patches of snow left on Arrow. You can access everything from the Trail Creek trailhead or the Fish Creek Access to Phillip’s Canyon. Old Pass Road is open but the highway is closed to vehicles and pedestrians this weekend as WYDOT hauls fill to fix the slide. Josie’s Ridge too is closed for part of today as the helitac crew helps drop loads of rocks so the trail crew can finish reinforcing the steep switchbacks. Crews also spent time this week brushing Munger, KC, Lindas, and treating musk thistle in Game Creek. We will keep clearing the upper parts of Teton Pass next week and the trails should be good to go. Continue to let us know if you see a tree down on the trail or any other problem that needs fixing, using our trial maintenance request button on our website. Have a fun weekend!
Trail Conditions for 6-14-24
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe Teton Pass trails were eerily quite today with no cars up there, its a unique experience to get out and explore. Crews cleared up Crater, the Phillip’s Connector, Arrow to Snotel, and over to the Ridge trail and back down. We also hit History, Ferrins, and Game Creek as some new trees fell with all the wind this last week. We will get down the rest of the Ridge and Arrow to Phillip’s Canyon next week then work out way up towards Ski Lake. We also continued to wage war on musk thistle up Game Creek and did some maintenance on the Blair Dr. Skills Track and the Melody Limits Singletrack this week. Thanks to the mountain bike team for coming out to help. Its beautiful and green out there and wildflowers are starting to pop up so get out and enjoy some trails this weekend!
Trail Conditions for 6-7-24
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trail in the Cache-Game system are all open and clear with the exception of the Skyline trail which opens on July 1. The Munger Mountain system is in great shape too and beautiful this time of year with the aspen trees budding. Teton Pass is slowly opening up and most trails are snow free up to about 7500 feet. Crews this week finished up National Trails Day projects including a bridge on History trail and a turnpike on the new Big Rocks extension. We also cleared lower History and Crater, Big Rocks, lower Blacks, and did a second pass on West Game and Wilson Canyon because trees in the burn area seem to fall every week. Get out and enjoy the warm weather and use our trail maintenance request button if you see anything that needs attention out on the trails.
Trail Conditions for 5-31-24
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week crews cleared Game, West Game, upper Wilson Canyon, Crater, History, and Big Rocks. Snow is melting fast and only a few drifts are lingering on the steep north facing spots on the Cache-Game system. Teton Pass is opening up as well with most trails being snow free up to 7000 feet or so depending on shade and aspect. If you would like to help us on trails come out for National Trails Day this weekend on Teton Pass. We will be working from 9-12 on the History and Big Rocks trails, building a bridge and a turnpike. Meet at the bottom of Old Pass Road for coffee and bagels and lunch after, hope to see you there!
Trail Conditions for 5-24-24
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe snow and rain have slowed trails melting out but there is dry-ish dirt out there to be found. The lower trails on Snow King below Sink or Swim are all in pretty good shape as is Putt Putt. The upper part of Hagen and Ferrins have a few lingering snow spots, and so do the other north facing areas. Crews have cleared everything in Cache and on the front side of Snow King and are working in Game Creek over the holiday weekend. Beware of the fresh dirt work on the Game Creek singletrack on the east side of the beaver ponds as it will soak up any rain on Saturday and be muddier than other more compact trails. If you are heading up that way take the Beaver Ponds Loop on the west side instead, and maybe bring some snacks for the hard working MCC crew were hired to help us with some trail work and clearing this spring. They will be camped up Game Creek til next week when they head over to Teton Pass. Keep next Saturday morning, June 1 in mind as its National Trails Day and we will be meeting at the base of the Old Pass Road to do some work on the History and Big Rocks trails. We hope to see you there, have a great weekend!
