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.

Trail Conditions for 7-3-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesIt looks like we will have some hero dirt for the July 4th weekend. All of the trails are drying out after the rain this week and are in great shape. The trail crew cleared the Skyline trail on Wednesday and cut 31 trees so everyone can enjoy a long adventure with great views on the ridge this weekend. The crew also brushed Munger Mountain for better line of sight and respite going through the Aspen thickets. They cleared a bunch of drains this week that were filling up with sediments from all the rain. That is why these are so important to get water off of the trail so it doesn’t erode the tread. Similarly the crew closed shortcuts on Ferrins and Sink or Swim where people are trying to take a straight line. The natural swoop and grade reversals on the trails act as natural drainage points for water to flow off. Please don’t short cut because you are lazy or trying to get a faster Strava time, and call out your friends if you see them doing the same. Fun fact the newer trails like Ferrins and Arrow only have a few drains because they were designed to shed water. However older trails like Ski Lake and Phillip’s Canyon have over a hundred drains each because they tend to be too steep and in a straight line down the slope. Have fun, stay on the trails, and enjoy some good weather this weekend!

Trail Conditions for 6-26-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThis week there is just a bit of lingering snow on Teton Pass but everything is getting to be very passable. If we get another week of warm temps we should make the July 4th date of all the trails being snow free and dry. Our youth crew has been hard at work over the last two weeks, building lots of turnpikes, clearing drainage, brushing along trails, and building some new features at the Blair Dr. Bike Park. We also adopted a viewpoint trail on Teton Pass that branches from the top of the History Trail and heads out for a few hundred yards to an overlook above Devils Slide. The crew lovingly named this the Teton Tourist Traverse from the number of travelers we saw hiking out to take a picture. We also surveyed the north side of the Big Munger Trail with the USFS and the crews from DIRT and Crosscut Trails who have a grant to reroute and improve the Big Munger Trail. The new route avoids the fall line climbs up the fence line and ridge and instead will climb through some beautiful Aspen ridges. This really is one of the most stunning trails on the frontcountry system with views of the whole valley and amazing wildflowers. If you get a chance go check it out this weekend!

Trail Conditions for 6-19-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTeton Pass got some fresh snow this week so the trails up high will likely be a bit muddy in spots and there are definitely drifts lingering on ridges and in north facing tree cover. The crew cleaned drainage and added fill to bridge approaches and turnpikes up Black Canyon and saw some bikers coming down who had post holed out to My Elly before descending mostly dry trail. Similarly people are making the connection from the Phillip’s Pass trailhead down to the Phillip’s Canyon access on Fish Creek with a combination of trails and the BPA road which is mostly dry. The hiking trails are more accessible and it would be a great weekend for a chilly dip in Ski Lake. Our youth trail crew started their summer this week and cleaned a bunch of drains in the rain, built a few turnpikes, and added a new balance feature to the Blair Dr. Bike Park. Look for them out on the trails working hard this summer!

Trail Conditions for 6-12-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTeton Pass is aiming for its traditional dry trail date of July 4th again this year. Trails are slowly melting and the crews cleared Blacks up to Mt. Elly but found a lot of snow above bridge 4 in the shaded part of the canyon. The trails north of the Phillips/Jimmys parking lot still have a lot of drifted snow as well although it is about the time that an intrepid biker could link up some trail and the BPA road to access the lower Ridge trail. Hikers should fair better but prepare hard packed snow in the mornings and slushy snow as the day warms. Snow King is good shape although trees keep falling in the burned area of West Game and Wilson Canyon. If you see any new fallen trees please let us know through our trail maintenance request and we will go get them with the help of our youth trail crew which starts on Monday. Look for them out on the trails and remember trail crews always love cookies!

Trail Conditions for 6-5-20
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesSnow King is completely dry and riding great! The crews cleared some trees off of West Game and Ferrins yesterday, but expect a few more to fall in the burned section of Wilson Canyon and West Game. If you see some new trees down after a wind event shoot us a trail maintenance request and we will get them cleared. Teton Pass is also drying out but slowly. We cleared upper Crater and History trail this week and there is some snow lingering on the top of History. Big Rocks and lower Blacks and getting there too and we will be out clearing those trails on Monday. On the northern side of the highway there is still a lot of drifts on Arrow, Ridge, and Snotel. The BPA road is drier since it gets more sun and can get you further out but it will still be hard to link to the trails that descend to Fish Creek. A quick reminder to enthusiastic trail users that building jumps and features is not allowed on the trails. The frontcountry system is managed for multi-use and the trail crew works hard to maintain trails so everyone can enjoy them. On this same note please do not remove trail closures and rehab materials. When trail braids and shortcuts happen because of irresponsible use the crews choose the alignment that drains water the best, reduce speeds, and provide for the best line of sight for other trail users. Then we will close and rehab the other sections. Thanks for helping us make sure everyone can enjoy the trails safely and get out this afternoon and enjoy the trails before the rain and snow this weekend!
