JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — Grand Teton National Park has transformed to winter use with many roads—including Teton Park Road, Moose-Wilson Road, and Signal Mountain Summit Road—now repurposed for cross-country skiing, skate skiing, snowshoeing, and walking.
Once snow begins to accumulate on the roadbeds, the designated portions of these roads may accommodate winter recreation, and the use of wheeled vehicles is prohibited for the season.
Bicycles, including, snow/fat/electric bikes, are not permitted on roads designated for over-snow access. Bikes are allowed on roadways open to motor vehicle use in Grand Teton National Park.
Grooming is anticipated to begin soon and will continue through mid-March, as conditions allow.
