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.
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.

The Cache/Game trails are almost totally dry with the last bit of snow lingering on the Ferrins and Cache/Game saddles and on the ski runs. Munger is also in great shape with only some snow on the upper ridge of the Big Munger trail. Teton Pass trails are snow free up to about 7500 feet in elevation. Crews this week cleared, Crater, lower History, Big Rocks, lower Blacks, lower Phillip’s Ridge, Josies, Kellys, Lindas, and Wilson Canyon. We will be helping on some other projects next week and then back to the upper parts of Teton Pass as the snow melts back. Trails of the week is the new Trail Creek Connector and OPR Loops, they make a fun lollypop loop from the bottom of Trail Creek road with lots of options in the 5 OPR Loops, and great views of the Sleeping Indian on the Trail Creek Connector. Have fun out there and enjoy the sunshine!

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.

Steve never stops.
When riding your e-bike, remember to follow traffic signs and stop at the stop signs.
Don’t be like Steve!
The bike lanes are back, and earlier this year thanks to the warm weather. Early season conditions exist - like some sand and winter road debris, and there is a detour around Garaman Park. So be careful on your first ride of the season and remember to:
1. Be nice, Say hi!
2. Keep right, pass left
3. Ring your bell when passing
4. Be pro, go slow around others
5. Stop at the stop signs
Many thanks to @tetonparksandrec , @townofjacksonwy , and @tetoncounty for getting these lanes in early this year.

Trail Conditions for 6-4-21
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesTeton Pass is drying out and crews have been clearing trees this week. We got Phillip’s Canyon up to the Phillip’Pass junction and the Ridge Trail up to rock world. The ridgelines and shaded trees are still holding drifts so if you are intrepid you can posthole your way through. We also worked on prepping the Adams to Wilson connector trail for National Trails Day tomorrow. This user created trail that will provide safe access from the neighborhoods on the west side of the highway to the national forest on the east side of the highway via the old Adams Canyon Cattle Tunnel. We will meet at Adams Canyon Dr. and have bagels and coffee before and brats and beverages after. Come out tomorrow morning from 9 to 12 to help out!
Trail Conditions for 5-28-21
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesFinally some sunshine! Snow King and Munger are in great shape after the rains and the trails on Teton Pass are drying out quickly. Crews cleared up Black Canyon to the snow line, and hit Big Rocks, Crater, and lower History. The lower reaches of Phillip’s Canyon and the Ridge trail are also dry along with Parallel. Get out this weekend and enjoy some sunshine and plan on coming out on National Trails Day on June 5th to help us complete the Adams to Wilson connector trail. More info can be found HERE
Trail Conditions for 5-21-21
News & Announcements, Trail UpdatesThe trails in the Snow King and Munger Systems are 99% dry with only a few lingering snow drift on windy ridges. Crews have cleared both systems for downed trees and have started to clear on Teton Pass. The Teton Pass trails are melting out and are usable from the lower trailheads. Crews cleared up Phillip’s Canyon and the Crater to History trail loop. TFR also reported dry conditions on the Parallel trail. There is still a good amount of snow at the Phillips/Jimmys and Teton Pass trailheads so the upper access to the trails may still be a few weeks away. With rain in the forecast for the next few days try to make sure you wait until the paved roads are dry to go use the trails. That is usually a good indicator of when the trails have drained and absorbed the moisture and you won’t be getting muddy and damaging the trails. MBT also has some trail reports for the CTNF trails at the link below. Have a good weekend out on the trails!

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.
