• Trail Updates

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 for 4-24-20

,

While the valley and the pathways are nice right now the trails are in mud season.  With the warm temps all next week it is a good idea to avoid the mishmash of wet snow and mud.  I would recommend any of the pathways or if you are really craving singletrack you may be able to use the Hagen trails early in the mornings if the temps are cold overnight.  Otherwise the only dry dirt is on the Nelson Knoll loop, the Blair Dr. Bike Park, and the singletrack along the S.89 pathway.  Hopefully by next weekend when the winter wildlife closures lift on May 1st there will be some more dry trails to get out and explore.  Until then remember to spread out and give people 6 feet when passing and keep yourselves healthy!

Pathway Plowing Update – March 30th

,

Pathway Plowing Updates
March 30, 2020

  • Parks and Rec started clearing the 3 Creek section of pathway on Sunday, March 29th. It will likely take a couple of days to get all of the snow removed.
  • The Moose-Wilson/390 pathway from Lake Creek to the Village will start getting plowed this coming week as well.

Don’t put pathway access at risk! Obey pathways usage guidelines during Coronavirus. 

  • Maintain 6 ft. of separation between users at all times!
  • We encourage everyone to travel at a safe speed and make sure you give other pathway users a comfortable amount of space, especially with the current concerns about COVID-19 and social distancing.
  • Travel on the right half of the pathway, pass on the left—and only when it’s safe to pass with no oncoming traffic.
  • Faster riders yield to slower users—it is always the responsibility of the faster-moving user to pass safely.
  • Signal audibly BEFORE passing. Ring your bell or say “on your left” and make sure the person has heard you and knows you’re passing.
  • Travel at a safe speed. Watch out for little kids, older folks, and less experienced users who may be less predictable and less steady on their feet or bikes.
  • Be alert. Keep an eye out for users approaching from behind, and make sure you can hear and respond to others on the pathway (mind the ear buds!)
  • Don’t block the trail. If you’re with a group, make sure to stay on the right half of the pathway. When stopped, please step completely off the side of the path and keep the trail clear for other users.
  • Keep dogs under control and clean up after pets. Dogs are required to be on leash on Town of Jackson pathways and under voice control on County pathways. Please bag AND DISPOSE OF your dog’s waste using the Mutt Mitts and the many trash cans provided for your convenience.

How to Stay Safe and Have Fun on Busy Pathways

,

With so many people out on the pathways right now, a lot of whom might not regularly use pathways and are perhaps a little rusty on their pathways etiquette, Friends of Pathways and the Jackson/Teton County Pathways program would like to remind the community of pathways usage guidelines that help keep all users safe and make sure everyone has an enjoyable experience on our community trails.

Pathways Usage Guidelines during Coronavirus (and all other times too)

  • We encourage everyone to travel at a safe speed and make sure you give other pathway users a comfortable amount of space, especially with the current concerns about COVID-19 and social distancing.
  • Travel on the right half of the pathway, pass on the left—and only when it’s safe to pass with no oncoming traffic.
  • Faster riders yield to slower users—it is always the responsibility of the faster-moving user to pass safely.
  • Signal audibly BEFORE passing. Ring your bell or say “on your left” and make sure the person has heard you and knows you’re passing.
  • Travel at a safe speed. Watch out for little kids, older folks, and less experienced users who may be less predictable and less steady on their feet or bikes.
  • Be alert. Keep an eye out for users approaching from behind, and make sure you can hear and respond to others on the pathway (mind the ear buds!)
  • Don’t block the trail. If you’re with a group, make sure to stay on the right half of the pathway. When stopped, please step completely off the side of the path and keep the trail clear for other users.
  • Keep dogs under control and clean up after pets. Dogs are required to be on leash on Town of Jackson pathways and under voice control on County pathways. Please bag AND DISPOSE OF your dog’s waste using the Mutt Mitts and the many trash cans provided for your convenience.

We are truly fortunate to have such a connected and accessible pathways system that allows people of all ages and abilities to travel and recreate safely and enjoy some time out of the house. While we’re all coping with the impacts of COVID-19 on our normal daily routine, we remind the community to expect to see many more users on our pathways than usual and to please remember that many of them may not have a lot of experience on shared-use paths. And we encourage everyone to travel safely and be patient and respectful toward your fellow path users.

,
We will be posting pathway plowing and sweeping updates as often as possible on this page and on our Facebook page.

Pathways maintenance personnel will be focusing on the winter-to-spring transition over the next several weeks, which includes sweeping sections that were plowed during the winter and clearing snow off of sections that were groomed for the winter season. Pathway users should use caution and watch out for icy sections due to snow melt and refreezing (especially during the morning hours), for gravel patches that may make corners slippery, or for other hazards that may exist during the transition to spring conditions. Check out the winter map HERE to see which sections were groomed or plowed this winter.

In addition, FOP’s winter single-track grooming in Cache Creek, will continue as long as weather permits, or until March 28th. The trails are holding up fairly well but please avoid hiking or riding during the warmest parts of the day if possible. If you are leaving a trench or divot more than 2” deep you are damaging the trail surface.

As always, please demonstrate good pathways and trail behavior by passing slower users safely, ringing your bell when passing, picking up after your pet, and obeying traffic rules. And, during this time of social distancing, we can all help out by making just a little added effort to slow down and give everyone extra space when traveling on pathways.

Lastly, please remember that social distancing recommendations still apply on pathways and trails, and that if you’re coughing and/or feverish, please rest, self-quarantine, and seek medical advice.
