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 6-2-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesMessage for the weekend! The ground it pretty saturated and with more rain on the way it may be a better idea to walk, ride, or gallop on the pathways this weekend. Footprints and hoofprints make the trail muddier for longer as each indentation holds small puddles of water, and tire tracks channel water down the trail and which encourages erosion. Our crews have already cleaned and dug hundreds of drainage features this spring which help to keep water off of the trails but you can help too by staying off the trails when they are muddy. The crews finished clearing the Snow King and Munger trails this week and are starting to work their way up from the base of Teton Pass. The snow line there is still around 8000 feet depending on aspect, although there looks to be fresh snow falling on the pass webcam as I speak. We are also working with Snow King to reestablish the Summit and Shade Monkey trails now that the grading is done and water line has been buried. Stay dry out there this weekend!
Trail Conditions for 5-26-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trails in the Cache-Game area are almost totally snow free with just a few drifts lingering on the north side of the Cache-Game divide and the Ferrin’s saddle. The 5 way meadows in upper Wilson Canyon are also pretty wet with spring runoff. There are still some trees down in the burn area on the Wilson Canyon and West Game trails that we will get cleared next week. The trails are holding up well but need a little longer to dry out after it rains as the ground is still saturated from the snow melt. I usually say wait until the streets in town are dry but maybe add an hour to that until we get into a high pressure system. The crews also finished clearing Munger Mountain this week and will start pushing up from the base of Teton Pass next week. If you are out exploring this weekend and see any trees down send us a trail maintenance request and we will get them asap. If you are going to be around next weekend come out from 9-12 on Saturday June 3rd for National Trails Day. We will be building singletrack across Snow King to get the Sink or Swim trail off of the shared section of road. Meet at the base of the Rafferty lift for bagels and coffee and a free ride up to help us dig.
Trail Conditions for 5-19-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesMore trails are opening up with the warmer temps. Sink or Swim is clear from Josies to Ferrins with just the lingering snow in the ski area to cross. The Sidewalk to Wiggle to Putt Putt loop is popular as always and the first part of Hagen and lower Ferrins is dry as well. Crystal Butte and Woods Canyon are snow free up to around 7600 feet and the Canyons south of town are similar. The lower Munger trails are also almost good to go with a few lingering snow patches on Wally World, but the Big Munger Loop is still holding a lot of snow. All in all a good week of clearing and trail work with the FOP crew, the BTNF crew, and a great volunteer group of 70 6th graders from the Salt Lake area helping us to clean up the Cache Creek area. Have a great weekend out on the trails!
Trail Conditions for 5-12-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesA few more trail options are dry for this weekend. The lower trails on the Josie’s Ridge side are almost 100% snow free and should make for some good loop options. Josie’s Ridge was snow free up to the old snag tree and Sink or Swim was clear until you get closer to the Snow King ski area. Putt Putt and Woods Canyon were good from the Nelson Dr. over to the Cache Creek trailhead, and the Sidewalk trail was clear up to around the Wiggle. The first mile or so of Game Creek above the gate is good too. In general head out and explore and if you are on dry dirt or snow you are good to go, but avoid pushing further if you are getting muddy or having to walk off trail to avoid mud and snow. Enjoy the sunshine and look for the crews out on the trails working hard!
Trail Conditions 5-5-23
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trails are still pretty muddy and snow covered this week. Your best bet is to head south of town on the trails between Adam’s Canyon and Game Creek and explore some up the canyons til you find mud or start postholing through the snow. Crystal Lite and Crystal Butte are also good options with just a few drifts on the corners. Another good easy outing is the old horse trail along the Wilson Centennial pathway. It parallels the pathway from Wilson to Stilson and is a good option for a ride with little ones on strider bikes, a run off of the pavement, or a dog walk when then pathway is busy. The FOP and BTNF crews start next week so we will be out poking around and seeing what trails are dry and clearing any down trees. If you see a tree across the trail or any other problem use the Trail Maintenance Request button on our page and let us know where the tree was, how big it is, and if it is a big mess with lots of branches etc.
