The leaves were in their fall glory of colors. The ride was beautiful and the trail was great. We started from Tetonia. We will be back to do again.
Fabulous views, wildlife , car free connections to campgrounds, trailheads, restaurants, Jackson trail system!!! 10 ft wide paved trail ( section near airport getting lumpy and could use attention) . Connects to Jenny Lake Scenic Road’s dedicated bike lane, and awesome quiet back roads. IMO the best biking in the US!
Some of the trail needs maintenance. Overall a good ride. Lots of road traffic but the speed limit is 45 so it’s ok for noise
The ride was fairly good. I guess they got the trail as far away from the highway as they could. Lots of cars headed to the park. Non stop noise
The ride is ok thus it got 2 stars. The surface was poorly layed and requires a lot of concentration to not wreck
Rode this trail June 2024 from Lamont to Tetonia. Gorgeous scenery of wide open lush farmland with the Tetons in the background. i chose this section because I didn't have enough time to do the full stretch and I wanted to see the bridge over Bitch Creek. It did not disappoint.
Tiny parking lots at Lamont and Felt enable you to jump on/jump off. It took me 2.5 hours on an e-bike but using the assistance at a minimum. There is a cafe in Tetonia if you are hungry when you arrive, or go another 7 miles to Driggs (no known bike path, but had our car there).
Trail is mostly gravel and only a few spots with loose sand. Definitely recommend!
If you plan on riding more than 2 hours do not park at the Visitor's Center. They told us we would not be allowed any longer. Beautiful trail though
Road 8 miles from Tetonia to Ashton where we were finally forced to turn around. The trail is gravel, yes, but variable sized rock which push tires sideways as well as rough. It’s also a two-track. I ride a recumbent trike which meant I always had a tire in the overgrown median. We turned around after we were overwhelmed by the thistles which hit us in the face and shoulders. On our return to Tetonia we met two groups. One was a family with 3 under 8 years. I thought how unfriendly the trail is to someone with a child trailer.
Today we rode towards Ashton to the 15-mile marker. This side is incredibly beautiful with the Tetons constantly looming in the background and the straw yellow fields making perfect contrast for pictures.
We rode from Ashton toward Tetonia to the 15-mile marker. It was a beautiful fairly flat rail trail. There was only one spot that diverted around private land. This diversion takes you on a few hilly spots for a couple of miles but all doable. There are two bridges on this stretch that cross lovely river gorges! And you have the backdrop of the Teton range in front of you on the way out. It’s ever so slightly climbing toward Tetonia so it was much faster on the way back to our van.
This was a fantastic trail. My husband and I completed on June 27 2023 from Ashton to Tetonia. The Tetons were in view the entire ride and the rolling fields and old homesteads felt like a trip back in time. I highly recommend this trail.
