As one of eight participating counties in the state, the Teton County Board of Commissioners appointed the Teton County WPLI Advisory Committee in October 2016. The Board selected Amanda Carey to represent mountain bike stakeholders in Teton County, alongside a diverse group of 18 representatives from

Pretty much right off the bat, the amazing things happening with mountain biking in our region began to come into focus: from long-fostered community relationships, to fundamental on-the-ground trail projects to groundbreaking youth mountain bike programs. So much to be proud of and even more to look forward to. A little background: I was born

After the trip I’d taken the previous year, I wasn’t prepared to spend more than a few hours at a time behind the wheel, so I charted a course around the block that would take me to visit some old friends and a few new riding destinations. First stop was Logan, UT where several good

This weekend Chris and I did some biking near Hoback Junction, or as the bumper stickers for sale at the market there refer to it, Hoback Nation. I’d been wanting to ride Cliff Creek and Chris suggested hitting up Granite Hot Springs and camping out there so I packed up Clark dog and the tent
Over the last few weeks I’ve ridden the loops in Rick’s Basin several times. I hadn’t been out there all summer until just recently but it’s been nice to get a quick and easy pedal in after work. Also, I needed to see the improvements made to the Rick’s Basin trail and to check out

Last week Alex, Chris and I went for a ride on Pine Creek Pass. I’ve been wanting to check this trail out since seeing it on a Forest Service map a while back and talked those guys into exploring it with me. Prior to the ride, I couldn’t find any details on the trail. Nobody
Last week Kinney and I checked out the Grove Creek to Drake Creek Ride in the southern end of the Big Holes. I had never ridden these before but gathered from reading a few descriptions and talking to several people who had ridden them, that there would be some hiking involved. Pushing bikes up steep

Colorado’s Yeti Cycles recently paid a visit to the Tetons and had this to say about our awesome backyard: “A land largely unaffected by the progress of man, the Tetons Range and the surrounding areas are a pristine ecosystem inhabited by a vast diversity of wildlife spreading across multiple national parks.

Last week I hung out with the Habitat crew for their weekly group ride, The Man Show. This is probably the most fun you could have on a group ride. Most everyone is just getting off of work and aren’t taking things too serious. It’s usually a ride at your own pace, see you when

Last week Chris and I pedaled up Pole Canyon and took the Pole to Mikesell Traverse over to the top of Mikesell Canyon. Here’s some video of the descent down Mikesell.
A couple of weeks ago I headed over to Cache Creek and rode a few of the trails I wasn’t able to last summer due to them being on fire at that time. I pedaled up the Cache Creek Sidewalk trail crossed over to Hagen then continued up Cache to Game Creek. Dropping into the

Last Saturday I took a ride after work with a crew from Habitat/Targhee. From the ‘ghee we pedaled up the Powder Reserve Traverse towards Lightning Ridge and kept going up Peaked Mountain.

Views: Big Munger Mountain Bike Trail – Wilson, WY by Dana Ramos I spent 3 weekends lapping Munger Mountain. I hadn’t ridden this area for a couple of seasons, not since all of the new trails had been built. The last time I had ridden it there was basically only one loop on that went
Over the last few weeks I haven’t been posting as many updates as I had been earlier this summer. That’s not to say I haven’t been riding though. Instead of trying to crank out more map segments I decided to get some rides in for fun. This past month I’ve ridden Southfork Horseshoe, the lower

This week Beth and I rode Pine Creek Pass again, taking a more popular loop this time. We started at Spooky, pedaled up to the junction with Corral Creek, and headed east. From there we climbed up to the top of Red Creek and coasted down to the other end of Corral. The first part
A few days ago I took G-Money for a ride around a couple of the Pine Creek Pass trails. Starting w/Spooky I pedaled up to the junction of Corral Creek and took a left heading West. From there we rode down to the Sheep Driveway. This half of the trail is super smooth, fast, and

Yesterday Beth and I rode the south fork of Horseshoe to Mahogany Creek. We started at the trailhead to Mahogany and got the 11 mile road ride out of the way first. Having ridden the south fork once already this summer, the climb didn’t seem so bad this time. As I mentioned in my last
