The cooler temps and snow this week slowed down the melting of trails on Teton Pass. Crews this week worked on Poison Creek and Tusky Ridge at Munger, and History, Arrow, Snotel, and Ski Lake on Teton Pass. So far this year we have cleared 270 trees which is already double what we cleared last summer. All the heavy snow and high winds this winter left some tangled messes of blown down trees for us to clean up out there. We will keep pushing up Ski Lake and out Phillip’s Pass next week and try to clear down Arrow and Phillip’s Canyon. Hope everyone enjoys the sunny weekend!

Wow mid May and the Cache/Game trails are snow free! Some heavy wind on Wednesday brought down some new trees on the trails. Crews re-cleared Putt Putt, Hagen, Ferrins, Sink or Swim, and the River trails. We also got to Tusky Ridge at Munger and the beginning of Arrow and all of the Ridge trail, 77 trees total this week! The Munger trails are in good shape and are so green right now, especially the meadows on the state land. If you are out there this weekend explore downhill to the north on either the Poison Creek or Tusky Ridge connectors and check out the trails there. Teton Pass is also melting quickly and we only saw a few snow drifts left today on the Ridge trail. Next week we will push up Ski Lake and upper History and see about clearing down Arrow to Phillip’s Canyon. If you see any new trees down from the recent storms let us know and have a fun weekend out on the trails!

While we boast 70+ miles of pathways in Teton County, many neighborhoods remain disconnected from the pathway network.

A prime example is the neighborhood on Andersen Lane (next to Calico) in Wilson. There are more than 30 elementary school age kids in this neighborhood alone who cannot access the pathway due to the nonstop flow of high speed traffic on HWY 390.

Luckily, there is a request for $200,000 in the Pathways 2027 budget for initial planning and design for the WY390 Eastside Pathway Project. This project would put a pathway on the east side of 390 and could potentially include a pedestrian underpass (The FY27 budget starts July 1).

The Board of County Commissioners will be discussing the Pathways budget on Monday, May 18.

Public comment will be taken.

Please show up and remind @tetoncounty about the importance of having Every Neighborhood Connected to the pathway network.

Do you know what kind of e-bike you ride? Steve has no clue. Don’t be like Steve!

In Teton County, Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 e-bikes are allowed on our pathways. Confused? Watch this video. Still confused? Visit a local bike shop - Jackson Hole has more than a dozen.

Steve never stops.

When riding your e-bike, remember to follow traffic signs and stop at the stop signs.

Don’t be like Steve!
