Thanks to Teton Co., Community Pathways, Friends of Pathways, and community supporters, this trail is part of the summer paved pathways system around Teton County. In winter, the pathway is plowed, allowing access for fat bikers, walkers, and runners between Stilson Park in Wilson and the Jackson High School in the south section of Jackson. The plowing, funded by public contributions and community donations, may leave a varied surface, including snow, ice, pavement, and puddles during a thaw.

Skiing Experience: The trail provides a mix of surfaces, offering a varied skiing experience suitable for fat bikers, walkers, and runners. Be prepared for changing conditions, especially in shady spots.

Winter Grooming: The pathway is plowed, providing a snow-covered surface. Conditions may vary, including snow, ice, pavement, and puddles during a thaw.
