CYCLING
Cyclists are in less danger from motorists in the Tetons than in Yellowstone because the
roads are wider and more open, but it is still best to venture out early to avoid traffic. Grand
Teton National Park gets little traffic from September to early October, and the cool tem-
peratures make for pleasant pedaling. In April, Teton Park Rd is open only to cyclists and
pedestrian traffic. This is a great time to bike if the snow has cleared. For tips on cycling

The best spot for cycling in the park, the new
multi-use pathway
borders the Teton Park
Rd between Moose and Jenny Lake (a 7.6-mile stretch). Riders can park at the lot just after
the Moose Entrance Station. Construction is underway to extend the path south all the way
to Jackson and north through the park, but should take several years.
For a mellow, scenic ride, try
Mormon Row
, a 16-mile loop including terrain beyond
Mormon Row, which starts and finishes in Gros Ventre Junction. While part of this ride is
paved, the 3-mile Mormon Row section, bumpy and unpaved, is not great for road bikes.
This trail follows an abbreviated version of the Hole in One driving loop (

).
Start at Gros River Junction. Go right at the turnoff, heading northeast with Blacktail Butte
to your north. Take a left at Mormon Row, another left at Antelope Flats Rd. It ends at Hwy
191; take the highway south to return to the start.
