Outdoor recreators in Wyoming and Idaho are hoping to raise $5 million in an effort to connect Teton Valley and Jackson Hole with a non-motorized pathway, connecting two states, two counties, and two national forests with a continuous, safe, and scenic pathway.
Save Teton Pass Trail hopes to raise the $5 million before December 31st, 2025, and which point an additional $1 million in federal grant funding will be unlocked if the funding goal is reached. The trail would add 3.6 new miles of safe, separated, non-motorized pathway along a dangerous section of WY Highway 2, connecting major trailheads at Trail Creek and Coal Creek and linking to the Greater Yellowstone Trail.
Today Teton Pass serves as a major connection point between two valleys that share one workforce, one landscape, and one community. While thousands of vehicles cross the passage every day, there is still no safe, non-motorized connection between the two regions.
The $5 million is primarily needed to construct the most crucial segment of the Teton Pass Trail, the connection between Trail Creek Campground and Coal Creek Trailhead. You can support the effort by making a donation here.
