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.
So these were the trails that would have been dry if it hadn`t snowed last night. Things will hopefully melt off tomorrow but be wary of the transition from frozen mornings to sunshine as the trails will turn slick and you will take a lot of mud home with you. Your best bet is to go for an adventure south of town on the A&W, S 89 Singletrack, and Game Creek trails. After that the first parts of Putt Putt and Sidewalk are mostly dry with some snow drifts. You can also push through those and hike up Crystal Butte and Crystal Lite or take a short sunny walk on the Nelson Knoll trail. If you are out and about and see any down trees or other trail issues use our Trail Maintenance Request button on our website to report it and we will get out to it right away. Have a great weekend!

Trail Conditions for 6-24-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesAnother busy week on the trails. We hired a crew from the Montana Conservation Corp who are helping to get Teton Pass open. We cleared down Black Canyon and History Trail and will be hitting Ski Lake and Phillip’s Pass this weekend. Black Canyon had just a little bit of snow left near the summit of Mt. Elly but was in great shape otherwise. We also cleared some of the user created trails in the nordic corridors at the base of Black Canyon. What we are calling the OPR Loops will be reviewed by the USFS this winter to see about adopting them onto the trail system, but in the meantime they make a nice quiet series of loops on relatively flat terrain. We then switched gears and hit the infestation of musk thistle in Game Creek to prevent it from spreading further onto the forest. We also had a great group of volunteers from the Teton Trail Runners who helped us install some stump seats at the Ferrins saddle for a well deserved rest after that climb. Finally we cleared some newly blown down trees on West Game, Wilson Canyon, and on the Cache Creek Road. If you see any new trees down after a wind storm use the trail maintenance request button to let us know about them and we will get out to clear them. Enjoy the warm temps and clear trails this weekend!
Trail Conditions for 6-17-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesAnother busy week on trails, the crew cleared Arrow, Snotel, Ridge, and upper Phillip’s Canyon so those should be good to go for the weekend with minimal snow left in a few spots. We will be up working on Ski Lake, Phillip’s Pass, and upper Black Canyon next week. We installed a few more bike racks at trailheads and pathway destinations and worked with a great volunteer groups from the Teton Science School. They installed some stump seats at the top of Josies for people to take a well deserved break with a view. Fun fact since 2003 Friends of Pathways has hosted 65,000 hours of volunteers focused on the trail system. Thats the equivalent the USFS hiring an additional 63 seasonal trail crew members. So a huge thanks to groups like TSS and other local organizations that come out to help on trails, we couldn’t do it without you!
Trail Conditions for 6-10-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesWe are still waiting on the upper ridges of Teton Pass to dry out but the rest of the trail system is in great shape after some sunny weather. This week we did a little tree clearing, cleaned up the Blair Dr. Bike Skills Park, and started installing bike racks at some of the busiest trailheads. We hope the racks will give people another option to bike to the trailhead and to go for a hike or run or ski without having to drive their car. Enjoy a sunny weekend and if you see any downed tree on the trails use the Trail Maintenance Request button at the top of the page to let us know and we can get out to clear it right away!
Trail Conditions for 6-3-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe Cache Game trail system is completely dry and cleared of trees! We cleared 32 trees off of Wilson Canyon and West Game this week and everything in now open and dry with the exception of the Skyline trail which is closed until July 1 for wildlife. We also cleared 24 trees off of Phillip’s Canyon and Phillip’s Ridge and the lower portions of those trails are a great out and back option. Similarly the lower portions of Blacks, Big Rocks, Crater, and History are good options this weekend. Also Munger Mountain is beautiful right now with the aspens starting to bud in a super bright green. Hopefully everyone can get out and find some sunny windows to enjoy the trails this weekend!
Trail Conditions for 5-27-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesIt was a busy week on trails and pathways. We string trimmed the old horse trail that parallels the Wilson Centennial Pathway as a way to give people a quieter multi-use trail to spread out on during busy commuting hours on the pathway. Use it as a mellow horse ride, a place for your kids on strider bikes, or a jog on dirt to take it easy on your knees. We also installed the new Willow St. Bike Lanes to provide a safe route to school and across town. You can now bike safely and take trips to the grocery stores, Garaman Park, the post office, the library, the Flat Creek, Wildlife Lane, and Snow King trailheads, the fair grounds, Phil Baux Park, Snow King Mountain Resort, the town and county buildings, the Genevieve Block Park, the schools, and Rec Center just to name a few. Since it looks like rain this weekend maybe take it easy on the trails and stick to the pathways. Leaving ruts, foot prints, and hoof prints on the trails keeps water from shedding off of the thousands of drainage features we maintain each year and that means the trails stay muddy longer after it rains. The crew also cleared Big Rocks and lower Blacks, History, and Crater which can provide some snow free loops on Teton Pass. We will make our way up lower Phillip’s Canyon and Ridge trails next week and try to push up Game and West Game. Munger Mountain is also all clear and a great option right now. The Cache Game trails are mostly dry except for the upper reaches of Wilson Canyon, West Game, Game, and Cache. The warm temps later next week should help open those up so endure the rain and look forward to that!
