There are multipe trails through the Teton Pass area for hikers, bikers, horseback riding  and other recreational use.

With the increasing popularity of the Teton Pass area, it is important that all trail users understand and practice proper trail etiquette.

Remember, equestrians have the right-of-way in all circumstances with Hikers secondary. Mountain Bikers need to take special care when approaching other users, you should slow to a walking speed when passing and yield to all other trail users. Also, trail users traveling uphill have the right-of-way over downhill traffic. Courtesy is important and contagious!

Before you strike out, think about your responsibility to TREAD LIGHTLY and protect the environment you enjoy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to TREAD LIGHTLY:
Responsible Mountain Biking

Preparation

Obtain a map of the area you wish to explore and determine which areas are open for use.

Contact the land manager for area restrictions and if crossing private property, be sure to ask permission from the land owner.
Check the weather forecast.
Prepare for the unexpected by packing a small backpack full of emergency items.
Safety on the trail

Wear a helmet, eye protection and other safety gear.
Buddy up with two or three riders as riding solo can leave you vulnerable if you have an accident or breakdown.
Drinking and riding don't mix.
Rules and common courtesy

Be considerate of others on the road or trail.
Ride only where permitted.
Leave gates as you find them.
Yield the right of way to those passing or traveling uphill.
Pack out what you pack in.
Remember, designated wilderness areas are reserved for the most primitive outdoor adventure.
Minimum impact camping

Select lightweight equipment, possibly in earth-tone colors that will blend with the surroundings.
Use existing campsites whenever possible.
Avoid building fires.
Negotiating terrain

When climbing, shift to a gear that provides comfortable forward momentum and maintains traction.
When descending, apply enough brake to maintain control, but avoid locking your bike's wheels.
Avoid trails that are obviously wet and muddy to avoid trail damage.
Cross streams slowly, at a 90-degree angle to the stream. Walking may be preferable as stream bottoms are often slippery.
