Plan an adventure-filled day biking in Grand Teton National Park in the fall. The expansive park covers over 300,000 acres, and there’s no better way to experience it all than by bike! Cyclists look forward to traveling on long winding roads created with scenic views in mind. Taking in the most scenic mountain views as they make their way around the alpine lakes and grassy meadows.
The Multi-Use Pathway
The flat, groomed trails make for an enjoyable ride for both professionals and novices. The multiuse pathway is an eight-mile paved single-lane path designed for bikers, rollerblades, and walkers. The route stretches from Jackson Hole to Antelope Flats Road and then from Teton Park Road to South Jenny Lake. Whether you’re looking to take on the entire path or just a portion, it’s an excellent option for everyone.
Stay Safe During Your Grand Teton Bike Ride
Cyclists must follow the same rules as other motorized vehicles. For their safety, bicycles should stay only on the designated paths. During the fall, this is especially important due to the increased wildlife activity.
Be sure to be adequately prepared for your bike ride. Wear a helmet at all times. Dress in warm layers that you can take off and put on as the temperature changes. Leave your headphones at home so you can properly communicate with other motorists. Depending on when you choose to head out, make sure your bike is outfitted with LED lights or reflectors.
