Grand Teton Pathway
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
Bear and moose encounters happen regularly along this corridor, especially near the Snake River sections. Keep your distance — at least 100 yards from bears and wolves, 25 yards from moose and bison. A moose on the pathway has the right of way, full stop.
The pathway is shared with cyclists who can move fast and quietly. Stay to the right, keep an eye on kids, and listen for bike bells — collisions happen more often than you'd think on busy summer days.

Pro Tips
Start from the Moose Junction end early in the morning — you'll have the pathway mostly to yourself, and the light on the Tetons is at its absolute best before 9 AM.
Bring a bike if you can. The pathway covers more ground than most people want to walk, and pedaling between Jenny Lake and Moose with the full range in front of you is one of the best easy rides in any national park. Dornan's in Moose rents bikes if you didn't bring your own.
The pullouts and benches along the pathway near the Snake River overlooks are prime spots for wildlife photography — set up with a long lens in the evening and wait for moose and elk to appear in the river bottoms.
