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.
🚨 Pathway closure near Gregory Lane!🚨 Starting Monday, September 29, 2025
The Town of Jackson and Evans Construction will be installing stormwater infrastructure and preparing the ground surface for roadway, curb and sidewalk near the crossing of the bike/pedestrian pathway on Gregory Lane.
A pathway closure and detour is necessary to route pathway users around the construction zone.
Plan on this pathway closure to begin today, Monday, September 29, 2025 and remain as necessary while crews install new utilities and road surface features.
Expect “Pathway Closed” and detour signage routing cyclists/pedestrians around the construction zone.
Signage will be placed at the pathway junction south of the tunnel under S. HWY 89, at the junction adjacent to the Middle School ball fields, and other common access locations.
Please obey the closure and detour signage and plan a little extra time on your bike/walk commute around this area.
We are mourning the loss of former FOP employee and dear friend, Jay Pistono. An amazing diplomat for responsible recreation and one of the friendliest people on the planet. Teton Pass won`t be the same without you Jay - RIP
UPDATE - the closure has been extended to include Thursday September 18, and Friday September 19!
🚨 The portion of the pathway between Russ Garaman Park and US89 will temporarily close between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 16, and Wednesday, Sept. 17. The closure allows pedestrians and bikers to access the pathway during morning and afternoon hours, per Parks & Rec. Dates and times are subject to change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. 🚨
Second Pass Bash of the summer is coming up! Help us close out summer the right way! 🤙🏼
On Saturday, September 20th we’ll have free shuttles from 11am-3pm, raffle prizes, free bike demos, free bike tunes, and more! 🚵♀️

@cfjacksonhole #oldbills2025
We met up with Sergeant Traphagan this week to hear about the best ways to stay safe as we all transition into the school year. His advice:
🚴🏼♀️💨 Know and obey the speed limit
🛑 STOP at stop signs
👈 Signal your intent
If we all follow these rules of the road, we can make it through the school year without incident! Thanks to @jhpolicedepartment for these safety tips!
🚨🦺 🚧 A new pathway roundabout is being installed today 8/28/25 at the Stilson parking lot - near the tunnel that passes under Hwy 390. Expect delays! If you arrive here during construction, we will walk you around the construction zone. @tetonparksandrec @tetoncounty @townofjacksonwy
Friends of Pathways here, bringing you more Back to School safety pointers!
🚦When you are feeling unsure of what to do at an intersection, you always have the option to dismount your bike, become a pedestrian, and safely walk your bike across the crosswalk
🚵 Know that sidewalks are an option when you feel unsafe in the road, especially for younger kids on their way to and from school!
👕 Wearing bright colors can help you stay more visible to other bikers and drivers on the road. Wearing reflective materials can also help increase your visibility to other road users
Happy Back to School day to all those who celebrate! 🍎🚴♂️
As you prepare to make biking to school part of your daily commute, here are some pointers for you and your family!
🔧 Safety check your bike before leaving the house. Make sure brakes are working properly
🧥 Dress appropriately for the cool morning weather and wear a helmet
📍 Plan your route to school with your family- the safest routes will be along the pathways
Safe and happy biking to school! ✨

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.
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!

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!
