Jackson Hole is home to over 56 miles of paved pathways, and it is one of the most extraordinary ways to explore the area. These recreational pathways link Teton Village, Wilson, Hoback Junction, and Grand Teton National Park to Jackson. Friends of Pathways has been working hard to create this safe network of bike trails, roadways, and sidewalks for active transportation and healthy recreation. Residents and visitors can use these pathways to access the outdoors, local businesses, and recreation opportunities without needing a car. If you are visiting town and want an easy way around, check out our rental bike options, from e-pathway to road bikes. We want to make it an easy decision for you, depending on where you want to go, how much time you have to spend, and the bike you want to ride. Below is an itinerary of Hoback’s favorite ways around the pathways.
This is one of the most popular destinations for our rental bikes. If you don’t feel like biking back to town, you can return your rental bike to Teton Village Sports in Teton Village. If you rent a bike from us, you will receive a free SMART bus pass to return to Jackson when you drop your bike off. Instead of taking the pathway to Wilson, take a right on Moose Wilson Road. Stay north to Teton Village and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. On your way, you will find incredible views and photo opportunities of the Tetons. Stop at Calico or Sidewinders for a local favorite meal on your way, or enjoy a snack at Aspens Market.
On your way to Wilson, take in the fantastic view of the Tetons. Head towards Russ Garaman Park and keep west as you cross Highway 89. Go North on Middle School Road until you reach the Teton Pass highway pathway. Follow this path to Wilson. There will be plenty of opportunities to see horses or cows grazing in the fields with views of the Teton landscape. As you enter Wilson, watch for Elk cooling off as you cross the Snake River. There are plenty of things to do in Wilson, such as enjoying the festivities at the Stagecoach Bar, grabbing a bite to eat at Noras Fish Creek Inn, or exploring the Raptor Center. You can continue biking north on the secluded Fish Creek Road or south on Fall Creek Road.
The South Park Loop is a mellow ride with plenty of parks and destinations to stop at. As you leave Hoback, follow the pathway next to Snow King and Fall Creek. Ride through Russ Garaman Park, a great place to stop for a picnic. Cross underneath Highway 89 and stay on the pathway south past the welcome to Jackson sign. Before you take a right on Wilson Canyon Road, consider stopping at the Bird restaurant for some of the best wings in town. Remain on South Park Loop Road until it connects again with the pathway. Three Creek Ranch will be on your left as you take a right on South Park Loop Road. Follow the path next to Middle School Road and take a left before Summit Innovations School. Remain east as you rejoin with Fall Creek back to Russ Garaman Park until you return to Hoback Sports.
If you are looking for a longer ride, picturesque views, and opportunities to see wildlife, this is the route for you. Ride into town and head north towards the National Elk Refuge and Greater Yellowstone Visitors Area. Stop by the Creekside Market for a sandwich before starting your trek. As you ride towards Moose, you will see many overlooks and photo opportunities. While in Moose, take a family photo at the Snake River Overlook or go to the Mormon Row Historic District to see the iconic Moulton Barns.
Jenny Lake is a longer ride, so plan to make it a full-day trip. Head Northwest past Moose on Teton Park Road, passing Windy Point Turnout. You will pass Taggart Lake Trailhead and multiple picnic areas next to Cottonwood and Taggart Creeks. Follow along Cottonwood Creek to Jenny Lake, a great place to cool off from your ride. Take a scenic boat ride across the lake and enjoy a quick hike to Inspiration Point or Hidden Falls. Watch for wildlife on the way and ensure not to get too close. Be advised Teton Park Road is closed from November – May.
If you want to make the most of our rental bikes, the Grand Loop connects all the major destinations accessible by pathway. Take the Teton Pass highway to Moose Wilson Road until you reach Teton Village. From there, enter Granite Canyon by staying on Moose Wilson Road and going to the southwest entrance of Grand Teton National Park. Be careful, as it is a gravel road with potentially rough conditions. Keep going past Death Canyon to the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center. Once in Moose, you can take a left towards Jenny Lake or take the pathway along Highway 191 back to Jackson.
