    MOOSE, WY-  Travel on the majority of the Teton Park Road, Moose-Wilson Road, and Signal Mountain Summit Road within Grand Teton National Park is now open to over-snow access only . The designated portions of these roads now accommodate winter recreation, and the use of wheeled vehicles is prohibited for the season.

    Once snow begins to accumulate on the roadbeds, the status is changed to over-snow access and approved winter activities such as cross-country skiing, skate skiing, and snow-shoeing become possible. Bicycles, including, snow bikes, are not permitted on roads designated for over-snow access. Snow bikes are allowed on roadways open to motor vehicle use in Grand Teton National Park.

    The 14-mile section of the Teton Park Road between the Taggart Lake Trailhead and Signal Mountain Lodge will be groomed approximately three times a week dependent on snow and weather conditions.

    • Tuesdays- Four lanes groomed Taggart to South Jenny Lake
    • Fridays- Two lanes groomed Taggart to Signal Mountain
    • Sundays- Four lanes groomed Taggart to South Jenny Lake

    Generally, pets are only permitted along park roadways open to motor vehicle use. However, pets are allowed on the over-snow access portions of the Teton Park Road and Moose-Wilson Road by special exception. For the safety of wildlife, pets, and visitors in wildlife habitat, pets must be leashed at all times. Pet owners are required to pick up waste. Dog sledding and ski joring are not allowed in the park.

    Ranger-led snowshoe hikes begin December 26 and will continue through mid-March. The hikes begin at 1:30 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and are supported by the Grand Teton Association. Reservations are required. Please contact the park at 307-739-3399 for more information.
