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.
Trail conditions are much the same as last week. Cache/Game and Munger are good to go with still some snow lingering higher up on Teton Pass in the shaded areas. Crews this week cleared Phillip’s Pass, Arrow, and Phillip’s Canyon bringing our total of cleared tree to 322 for the year so far. Sounds like there may be a few new ones in West Game that we will get next week. We also worked on drainage in Cache after the heavy rains this week and restarted our war on invasive weeds on the Putt Putt and Game Creek trails. We are going to be doing some work out of the Cache Creek trailhead for National Trails Day next Saturday from 9-12 if anyone wants to come volunteer. Hopefully the rain holds off and you can get out on the trails this weekend!

See you there!!
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!

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.

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.

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!

The snow this week didn’t do us any favors drying out the trails. A few more things are opening up and passable but there is still some lingering packed snow and drifts in the shade. As you get excited for summer come by the Bike Swap this Saturday at The Hub Bicycles from 10-1. Otherwise enjoy some much deserved sunshine this weekend!
Trail Conditions for 5-3-24
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTrail Conditions 6-16-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTrees, trees, big trees! The crew did some more clearing on Arrow, Snotel, Ridge, Ski Lake, and Black Canyon this week and cleared a few dozen trees including some big firs and spruce. We cleaned drainage on Big Rocks, Blacks, and Ski Lake and started laying out some of the project work in Black Canyon that a Montana Conservation Corps crew we hired will be helping with next week. These include a number of small reroutes to improve drainage, decrease erosion, and minimize the amount of maintenance we have to do each year on the trail. We also continued the war on musk thistle in Game Creek and buffed out the Shade Monkey trail that Snow King reestablished after they finished burying their snowmaking lines. The Teton Pass trails are almost snow free with lingering patches on Ski Lake, Phillip’s Pass, the north facing parts of Arrow, and most of the ridgeline of Black Canyon to Mt. Elly. If you are tenacious enough to hike through a mile of snow, come visit us next week on the upper parts of Black Canyon and remember the trail crew loves cookies.
Trail Conditions for 6-9-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe crew had another busy week. We worked our way up Game and West Game focusing on brushing, drainage, and weeds. We cleared lower Blacks, Big Rocks, Crater, and lower History and are headed out to the pass bash on Saturday to get some free shuttle rides to chainsaw and clear the Arrow, Snotel, Ridge loop. We worked up Phillip’s Canyon and the lower Ridge trail and started work on the OPR Loops at the bottom of Black Canyon. We also finished touching up the Sink or Swim reroute that 50 hearty volunteers helped us start last Saturday. The trails on the pass are mostly dry with snow still lingering on the way to Mt. Elly, the upper parts of Ski Lake, and the north facing parts of the Ridge and Arrow trails. Heads up there will be closures on lower Phillip’s Canyon and the Ridge trail next week as fire crews continue work on the thinning project in that area.
