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.”

Trail Conditions for 8-7-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the crew started on the new Game Creek connector trail. This trail will connect the Game Creek trailhead to the S. 89 pathway and will provide safe access from the neighborhoods along S. Hwy. 89 to their public lands without having to take a trip in a vehicle. We hope this will help alleviate some of the parking issues at the Game Creek trailhead. If you are out in the Game Creek area and would like to help we have a cache of tools and instructions at the western end of the trail and you are more than welcome to stop and dig for a little while. I highly suggest mornings and evenings as our crew was baking in the sun last week on the south facing slopes. Our youth crew has one more week of work and we will see if we can finish the stretch on the BTNF. The crew also worked on the Phillip’s Pass and Arrow trails this week cleaning drains and fixing tread. On Thursday they helped the town relocate the Rodeo/Pine Dr. Access trail. The trail was created by users over the last two decades but was actually on private property slightly to the west of the access easement. They brushed back the the larger trees and willows and re-dug it about 8 feet to the east. The Phillip’s Ridge and Snotel trails are opening back up now that the thinning crews have finished chainsawing in that area. I suggest heading up there this weekend as I imagine a byproduct of the thinning is better views of the mountains and valley!
Trail Conditions for 7-31-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the crew finished up the last new log bridge up Cache Creek. These are a fun endeavor where the crew gets to use the griphoist to maneuver the several thousand pound logs into place, a good physics lesson in action. We then installed a new culvert on the Phillip’s Connector trail where the Glory Bowl snow melt runs across each spring. We cleared some trees off of the Hagen and Wilson Canyon trails and will get one off of Phillip’s Canyon. We also spent some time on the History trail clearing down trees, cleaning drains, adding fill to bridge approaches, clearing culverts on turnpikes, and cutting back the infamous “Nettle Nam” section. This trail really is amazing and the upper section is a perfect combo of peak wildflowers, beautiful Aspen groves, and dark shady Douglas Fir stands right now. If you’re looking for a nice hike this weekend to avoid the heat at high elevation this would be a great one.
Trail Conditions for 7-24-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the crew continued working on some new footbridges on Cache Creek between Noker Mine and the Wilderness boundary. We used the griphoist to swing the logs into place which involved some tree climbing and pulley work. The crews then peeled the logs, milled them flat on top, and built approaches to easily step on and off of the bridges. We rebenched several sections of eroded parts of the Cache Creek trail where mud slides had occurred. They also added gravel to the ridge trail with ambassadors Randy and Cam as well as cleared a few fallen trees off of the trails. With the bit of rain this week the trails are in great shape so get out and enjoy the weekend!
Trail Conditions for 7-17-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the crew went up Game and West Game and brushed back willows and rebenched narrow outsloping sections of trail. They also continued the good fight against Musk Thistle which has crept up the drainages over the years. It looks like the beavers have also moved up canyon and there are several new pool and dams up West Game. The crew also took all our rigging in to Cache Creek to raise the Noker Mine bridge which has flooded the last few years. We were able to hoist it up, add more gravel under, set new higher sill logs, and make new approach ramps for the taller decking height. The crew worked with the USFS on the new Sheep Gulch take out trail adding a rope hand line along the steep sections of the trail. They also cleared the Big Kahuna Wave access trail and we surveyed the Rodeo Wall climbing trail for a project with the Access Fund and the Teton Climbers Coalition. With the dry weather the trails are a bit dusty so watch yourself and don’t slip or skid. DO however get out and enjoy a banner year for wildflowers, they are as vibrant as I have ever seen them!

Trail Conditions for 7-10-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week the crew cleared drains on Putt Putt and upper Blacks. They re-stained and fixed up the benches on Nelson Knoll and Putt Puttat the town overlook. The built a turnpike on the Big Rocks trail and cleared brush along all of those sections of trail. We also cleared trees off of Big Rocks, Snotel, Arrow, and Skyline that fell within the last week. As you head into the weekend remember that the Old Pass Road paving project will be happening Monday-Wednesday next week so please plan accordingly and use other trails in the area, especially if you are biking Jimmys as it will be hard to connect to Parallel as they pave past Crater Lake.
