MOOSE, Wyo. – Residents can enjoy on-snow winter recreation, including cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and walking, starting this Friday, Jan. 12 on Signal Mountain Summit and Moose-Wilson roads in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP).
Teton Park Road will be groomed between Taggart Lake parking and Signal Mountain Lodge, January 12 through mid-March, as conditions allow. The road will be groomed three times a week on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, weather permitting. Four lanes will be groomed from Taggart Lake parking to one mile north and then two lanes to Signal Mountain Lodge, which will help expedite spring plow operations to ensure a timely opening of the Teton Park Road for cycling and walking during the month of April.
Parking is available at Taggart Lake Trailhead, Cottonwood Creek Picnic Area and at the gate at the north end of the Teton Park Road near Signal Mountain Lodge.
The use of wheeled vehicles including bicycles, snow/fat/electric bikes, are not permitted on roads designated for winter recreation activities. Bikes are only allowed on roadways open to motor vehicles.
Dogs are welcome to recreate alongside their owners on the Teton Park Road. For the safety of wildlife, visitors and their pets, dogs must always be leashed and are not allowed in the backcountry. Owners must pick up after their pet. Dog sledding and skijoring are prohibited within GTNP and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway.
Before visiting the park, be sure to check the weather and park conditions at go.nps.gov/tetonconditions. GTNP advises residents to pack plenty of food, water and extra layers of clothing, and know which roads are open by checking the current road status at go.nps.gov/tetonroads. Drivers are reminded to slow down, be alert and drive safely.
