The first phase of the Wilson to Stilson Pathway and Wilson School Underpass will be open beginning tomorrow Saturday, November 4, 2023.
Phase 1 of the Wilson to Stilson Pathway begins at the Stilson Transit Center and ends at the Teton Raptor Center. The pathway includes the Wilson School Underpass. Phase 2, which consists of the Fish Creek Pathway Bridge over the creek, is expected to be completed in early June 2024.
“We are thrilled to open the completed Wilson to Stilson pathway, a Teton BUILD Grant project, and the Wilson School Underpass,” says Teton County Public Works Director Heather Overholser. “These projects are the result of years of work by many community members and partners across the county, who acknowledge the importance our pathway system plays in our transportation goals.”
“Pathways play a key role in how we safely and efficiently move around our neighborhoods and valley,” says Pathways and Trails Coordinator Brian Schilling. “Families and individuals on the south side of Highway 22 have been championing this critical connection for years. We look forward to seeing people of all ages enjoying the pathway this weekend as they move around Wilson and the greater pathway system.”
✌️ ❤️ 🚲
You’re invited to celebrate Tim Young, his career, and his significant contributions to our pathway network on Wednesday, September 27 at 5 p.m at Hungry Jacks in Wilson.
Tim recently retired and his friends, colleagues, and fellow walk and bike enthusiasts want to thank him for his years of tireless work to envision and create a safe, separated pathway network in Teton County, as well as his work creating walking and biking networks in other Wyoming communities, and beyond.
Please spread the word! See you Wednesday.
Friends of Pathways supports kids biking to school and wants to give students the skills they need to do so in a safe way, while preserving the pathway experience for all users.
In May of 2023, Friends of Pathways visited Jackson Hole Middle School and taught bike safety in an assembly setting and outside using a bike skills course. The curriculum focused heavily on e-bike safety. Friends of Pathways organized this fun and educational day for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in response to growing public concern regarding pathway safety, specifically as it relates to e-bike usage and middle school students.
Friends of Pathways has recently hired Bike Safety Coordinator Aaron Nydam @nydamaaron who will assist in our efforts to provide pathway etiquette and e-bike education to our youth, visitors, and residents alike.
On Sept. 12 and 14, we will head back to the middle school to offer free bike inspections for all kids who bike to school to ensure their bikes have working brakes, lights, bells, tires, drivetrains, etc. we appreciate the support from @hobacksports , @wheelwranglers , @pedegojacksonhole , @thehub_jh , @fitzgeraldsbicyclesjh , and @tetonmountainbike in this effort.
If you enjoy living in a walkable and bike-able community where people of all ages and abilities have equal access to our pathways and trails, please support Friends of Pathways during Old Bill’s Fun Run! Link in bio. #oldbills2023 @cfjacksonhole
Whether it’s promoting pathway safety or advocating for active transportation, FOP works hard so you have healthy and sustainable choices for moving around our beautiful home - like our wonderful bike lanes that traverse town.
Our in-town bike lanes connect people to key destinations like the rec center, our schools, downtown, civic buildings, multiple parks and green spaces, a ski area, national forest trails, the rodeo grounds, multiple affordable housing projects, the library, the “new” post office, and our 70-mile greater pathway network, which leads into Grand Teton National Park.
FOP is a voice for connecting more neighborhoods to Jackson’s pathway network, so people don’t have to make dangerous choices if they choose to walk or bike.
We are working to grow a culture of bike safety and respect along the pathways with increased public education as well as bike & e-bike safety classes to over 600 JH Middle School students.
We want to ensure that the pathway between Wilson and Jackson remains a priority during Highway 22 expansion discussions.
FOP will always work to foster healthy recreation and active transportation choices so people have options to leave the car behind.
Please support us during Old Bill’s Fun Run. Link in bio! #oldbills2023

Trail Conditions for 6-4-21
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTeton Pass is drying out and crews have been clearing trees this week. We got Phillip’s Canyon up to the Phillip’Pass junction and the Ridge Trail up to rock world. The ridgelines and shaded trees are still holding drifts so if you are intrepid you can posthole your way through. We also worked on prepping the Adams to Wilson connector trail for National Trails Day tomorrow. This user created trail that will provide safe access from the neighborhoods on the west side of the highway to the national forest on the east side of the highway via the old Adams Canyon Cattle Tunnel. We will meet at Adams Canyon Dr. and have bagels and coffee before and brats and beverages after. Come out tomorrow morning from 9 to 12 to help out!
Trail Conditions for 5-28-21
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesFinally some sunshine! Snow King and Munger are in great shape after the rains and the trails on Teton Pass are drying out quickly. Crews cleared up Black Canyon to the snow line, and hit Big Rocks, Crater, and lower History. The lower reaches of Phillip’s Canyon and the Ridge trail are also dry along with Parallel. Get out this weekend and enjoy some sunshine and plan on coming out on National Trails Day on June 5th to help us complete the Adams to Wilson connector trail. More info can be found HERE
Trail Conditions for 5-21-21
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trails in the Snow King and Munger Systems are 99% dry with only a few lingering snow drift on windy ridges. Crews have cleared both systems for downed trees and have started to clear on Teton Pass. The Teton Pass trails are melting out and are usable from the lower trailheads. Crews cleared up Phillip’s Canyon and the Crater to History trail loop. TFR also reported dry conditions on the Parallel trail. There is still a good amount of snow at the Phillips/Jimmys and Teton Pass trailheads so the upper access to the trails may still be a few weeks away. With rain in the forecast for the next few days try to make sure you wait until the paved roads are dry to go use the trails. That is usually a good indicator of when the trails have drained and absorbed the moisture and you won’t be getting muddy and damaging the trails. MBT also has some trail reports for the CTNF trails at the link below. Have a good weekend out on the trails!

Trail Conditions for 5-7-21
News & Announcements, Trail Updates, UncategorizedCrews are clearing trees as the trails continue to dry out. The Cache Creek trails are mostly dry with a few lingering snow patches. Everything below Sink or Swim is also good to go with just the snow on the ski slopes remaining. Game Creek is dry up to the West Game junction and you can explore up both drainages above that until you start hitting snow in the north facing trees. Munger is also drying out quickly with snow remaining on the north side of Wally World. Crews will be heading out there next week to clear trees and work on drainage. As you explore, be sure to let us know if you see downed trees on the trails via the Trail Maintenance Request button at the bottom of the page. This really helps the crew find trees and clear them before user trails form around them.
Trail Conditions for 5-1-21
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesSpring is here and there are dry trails! The Winter Wildlife Closures open today offering lots of options to explore Wilson Canyon, Josie’s Ridge, and Crystal Butte. The usual Putt Putt and Sidewalk loop to the Wiggle is 99% dry with intermittent snow patches further up Cache and on the shaded Hagen side. Game Creek is dry on the Beaver Ponds side with a few snow patches lingering on the singletrack. The trails from the Wildlife Lane trailhead are mostly dry too offering some short loops. Get out and enjoy and if you find some snowy or muddy patches remember to go through them, not around them! It is easier to fix some concentrated trail damage rather than to rehab wide sections of trail. With so many excited trail users, all those footprints and tire tracks will smooth out the muddy bits as they dry. Also if you see a tree down or a section of trail that needs work, use our trail maintenance request button at the bottom of this page to let our crews know where the issue is.
