MOOSE, Wyo. — The southern portion of the Moose-Wilson Road from Granite Canyon Entrance to the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve will close to all access the day after Labor Day, Sept. 6.
This section of road will reopen to winter activity in December. It will then stay open through March 2023.
According to the park, the closure is needed because the road is too narrow to safely allow construction equipment and visitor traffic.
The northern section of the road will remain open to the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve and Death Canyon Trailhead from the north, via Moose, WY.
Grand Teton is working in partnership with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Teton Village Association to provide access to trails originating from the Granite Canyon Trailhead, including Granite Canyon, Marion Lake and the Teton Crest Trail. To access park trails from Teton Village, park in the Ranch Lot and walk or take the shuttle bus to the base area. Begin hiking from the Ranch Lot or ride the Aerial Tram or Bridger Gondola (fees apply) up to avoid hiking the initial elevation.
Park staff are evaluating Moose-Wilson Road construction impacts for 2023. For more information about the project click here.
The majority of the funding for Phase 1 work of the Moose-Wilson Road Corridor Project is provided by the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), the act is the single largest investment in public lands in U.S. history. The landmark legislation established a new National Parks and Public Lands Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF) to address the maintenance backlog on public lands.
