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 6-3-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe Cache Game trail system is completely dry and cleared of trees! We cleared 32 trees off of Wilson Canyon and West Game this week and everything in now open and dry with the exception of the Skyline trail which is closed until July 1 for wildlife. We also cleared 24 trees off of Phillip’s Canyon and Phillip’s Ridge and the lower portions of those trails are a great out and back option. Similarly the lower portions of Blacks, Big Rocks, Crater, and History are good options this weekend. Also Munger Mountain is beautiful right now with the aspens starting to bud in a super bright green. Hopefully everyone can get out and find some sunny windows to enjoy the trails this weekend!
Trail Conditions for 5-27-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesIt was a busy week on trails and pathways. We string trimmed the old horse trail that parallels the Wilson Centennial Pathway as a way to give people a quieter multi-use trail to spread out on during busy commuting hours on the pathway. Use it as a mellow horse ride, a place for your kids on strider bikes, or a jog on dirt to take it easy on your knees. We also installed the new Willow St. Bike Lanes to provide a safe route to school and across town. You can now bike safely and take trips to the grocery stores, Garaman Park, the post office, the library, the Flat Creek, Wildlife Lane, and Snow King trailheads, the fair grounds, Phil Baux Park, Snow King Mountain Resort, the town and county buildings, the Genevieve Block Park, the schools, and Rec Center just to name a few. Since it looks like rain this weekend maybe take it easy on the trails and stick to the pathways. Leaving ruts, foot prints, and hoof prints on the trails keeps water from shedding off of the thousands of drainage features we maintain each year and that means the trails stay muddy longer after it rains. The crew also cleared Big Rocks and lower Blacks, History, and Crater which can provide some snow free loops on Teton Pass. We will make our way up lower Phillip’s Canyon and Ridge trails next week and try to push up Game and West Game. Munger Mountain is also all clear and a great option right now. The Cache Game trails are mostly dry except for the upper reaches of Wilson Canyon, West Game, Game, and Cache. The warm temps later next week should help open those up so endure the rain and look forward to that!
Trail Conditions for 5-20-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe lower trails on Munger are good to go and the Cache-Game area is opening up slowly but surely. We cleared 24 trees off of Munger and cleaned drainage with the USFS crew on Thursday. All of the trails there are in great shape and the Aspens are just starting to bud. Big Munger still has some snow drifts on the ridge. Wilson Canyon is dry up to the 5 way meadows and Ferrins is 99% dry up to the saddle where there is still a bunch of snow on the north side. Lower on Hagen things are dry up to the last section by bridge 5 and Putt Putt is good to go. Sink or Swim has just a little bit of snow left on the ski run. Get out and enjoy this weekend!
Trail Conditions for 5-13-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesAnother snowy and rainy week means trails are still melting slowly and the dry ones are a bit muddy. Ease into tomorrow afternoon and head to sunny aspect first and then explore some of the shady trails on Sunday when its sunny. We worked with the BTNF crew this week to clear and clean drainage on Putt Putt, KC, Kellys, Lindas, Josies, and Wilson Canyon so those all should be in good shape. Game Creek is cleared too up to the W Game junction and is pretty dry until you turn that north facing corner just before the junction. We worked some more at connecting sections of the S 89 Singletrack that was covered up during the highway expansion, so thats a good option to connect from the South Jackson neighborhoods over to Game Creek. We will head out to Munger next week and start hitting the lower parts of the Teton Pass trails as they melt out with what looks to be a sunny and warmer start to next week!
Trail Conditions for 5-6-22
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trails are starting to dry out after a wet April. The usual spots, Putt Putt, Crystal Butte, the Sidewalk Trail, and Josie’s Ridge are in good shape with only a few lingering snow patches. If you haven’t explored the new South Jackson trails you can make a fun loop with the pathway. Start at Adam’s Canyon on the new A&W Trail and head south to Wilson Canyon, cross over the highway to the S. 89 Singletrack which some volunteers helped us to reconnect last week, and then continue on through the pathway tunnel to the Game Creek Connector Trail up to the trailhead and back via the pathway and the Adam’s Canyon pedestrian tunnel. As you explore out make sure to stay off of muddy trails, a good rule of thumb after precipitation is to wait until the roads are dry in town before going out to the trails!
