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 Cache/Game trails are almost totally dry with the last bit of snow lingering on the Ferrins and Cache/Game saddles and on the ski runs. Munger is also in great shape with only some snow on the upper ridge of the Big Munger trail. Teton Pass trails are snow free up to about 7500 feet in elevation. Crews this week cleared, Crater, lower History, Big Rocks, lower Blacks, lower Phillip’s Ridge, Josies, Kellys, Lindas, and Wilson Canyon. We will be helping on some other projects next week and then back to the upper parts of Teton Pass as the snow melts back. Trails of the week is the new Trail Creek Connector and OPR Loops, they make a fun lollypop loop from the bottom of Trail Creek road with lots of options in the 5 OPR Loops, and great views of the Sleeping Indian on the Trail Creek Connector. Have fun out there and enjoy the sunshine!

Getting Wilson Elementary properly equipped for iWalkiBikeiBus day tomorrow. A pathway came very close to Wilson School, but actually delivered kids to HHR Ranch Road, which has vehicles turning from and on to HWY 22, making for a less than ideal situation for kids on bikes. So we worked with the school, busted down the fence, laid some gravel down, and voila - a safer situation. Swipe on for the iWalkiBikeiBus Schedule.
May is Bike Month in Jackson, Wyoming! Our mayor even said so.
The winter wildlife closures lifted today and there are more trails to explore on what looks to be a sunny weekend! This is what we refer to as trail crew cross-fit season. Crews this week cleared Game Creek, Beaver Ponds, West Game, Ferrins, Putt Putt, Hagen, Hagen Highway, KC, Champa, Shade Monkey, lower Phillip`s Canyon, and OPR. Lots of miles covered with a chainsaw, clearing about 40 trees so far. Definitely let us know if you see trees down or other problems on the trails with the Trail Maintenance Request button on our website. That helps us be more efficient with our time so we can get more trail work done. In general we are weeks ahead of normal with the low snow this winter. Most of the Cache-Game system is dry except for a few remaining snow patches at the higher elevations in the north facing trees. Munger is mostly dry on the lower loops and the state land. Teton Pass is melting and you can explore the multi-use trails from the bottom up. Trail of the week is Sink or Swim, get up there and traverse Snow King and take in all the shades of green popping out in the forest!

Steve never stops.
When riding your e-bike, remember to follow traffic signs and stop at the stop signs.
Don’t be like Steve!
The bike lanes are back, and earlier this year thanks to the warm weather. Early season conditions exist - like some sand and winter road debris, and there is a detour around Garaman Park. So be careful on your first ride of the season and remember to:
1. Be nice, Say hi!
2. Keep right, pass left
3. Ring your bell when passing
4. Be pro, go slow around others
5. Stop at the stop signs
Many thanks to @tetonparksandrec , @townofjacksonwy , and @tetoncounty for getting these lanes in early this year.

Trail Conditions for 5-2-25
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe winter wildlife closures have lifted and the trails are melting out. You can explore up Game Creek and Putt Putt with only a few snowy spots left. The trails below Sink or Swim between Josie’s Ridge and Snow King are dry too but the Hagen side is still holding snow in the north facing trees. Also the Munger State Land trails are dry and a good place to explore now that the county has a lease there. We will be working to improve these trails over the next few summers. If you haven’t been out there park at one of the three pull outs on Fall Creek road to the north of the main Munger trailhead. The first is at the cattle guard and then there are two more on the east side of the road by some fence posts. It is a beautiful area with great view of Munger Mountain. Looks like we might finally hit 70 degrees this weekend so get out and enjoy the trails!
Trail Conditions for 4-25-25
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTrails are starting to melt out and with a 60 degree Saturday coming up it seemed like a good time to start trail reports for the season. The usual things are dry, the first part of Putt Putt and Sidewalk, the S 89 Singletrack and the Game Creek Connector. Sadly A&W is not open this year as the land managers reversed their decision. Elsewhere you can explore trails that are outside of the winter wildlife closures but be prepared to meet snow and mud. Hopefully with warmer temps and the May 1 opening there will be much more to report next week. As you get out and explore use our trail maintenance request button on our website to report any down trees or other problems. I have been poking around doing dirt work and drainage and will keep clearing and opening trails next week. Also if you need some early season stoke come out to the Bicycle Film Festival on Thursday May 1 at the Center for the Arts at 5:30pm.
Trail Conditions for 7-3-24
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesIll start with a ChrisP quote “You can be certain each year that all of the frontcountry trails will be snow free by July 4th” We made it and got everything clear including the Skyline trail which opened up on July 1. Its a sprint from late April til now to hike and bike the 150 miles of trail with a chainsaw and clear all the downed trees from the winter. This often involves multiple trips as spring and summer wind storms inevitably bring down more trees the day after we cleared. When this happens it really helps us to get reports of where the trees are and how big they are through our trail maintenance request button on our website. Help us out and let us know if you see downed trees or other trail problems when you are out on adventures. Have fun out on the trails over the holiday weekend!
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!
