Overview

Biking is a popular activity in the park. The first phase of the multi-use pathway opened to the public in 2009. The pathway currently extends from the town of Jackson, north to Moose Junction and then follows the Teton Park Road to the South Jenny Lake area. The section of pathway through Grand Teton National Park opens seasonally after snow has melted from the pathway surface and park maintenance workers have swept it. The section of the pathway along the National Elk Refuge from Jackson to Gros Ventre Junction is closed from November 1 to April 30 due to elk migration. There is an extensive pathway system through the town of Jackson extending into Teton County. Please visit the Teton County website for maps of the pathway system. Special regulations apply to the multi-use pathway.
