Teton Park, Moose-Wilson and Antelope Flats roads in Grand Teton National Park may now be used for nonmotorized activities such as hiking, biking and in-line skating.

The annual springtime opening of Teton Park Road is a much anticipated event because it provides a unique opportunity to utilize the roadway before regular motorized vehicle traffic begins for the summer.

Antelope Flats Road will open for automobiles in about two weeks. Teton Park and Moose-Wilson roads will open to vehicle traffic for the summer May 1.

Officials warn that, while these roads were cleared of their winter snow this past week, new snow is likely to accumulate on their surfaces during late-season snowstorms. Visitors should also be alert for park vehicles that may occasionally travel Teton Park Road for administrative purposes.

Leashed dogs are permitted on Teton Park, Antelope Flats and Moose-Wilson roads, as well as other park roadways. Dogs are restricted to roads and turnouts.

Owners are required to keep pets on a leash with a 6-foot maximum length. Mutt Mitt stations are in place at the Taggart Lake parking area, and pet owners are required to use waste disposal bags to pick up after their dogs.

Entrance stations are operating and collecting fees. Bicyclists are required to stop and show an entry pass before proceeding through the gates.

The new pathway running from Dornan’s to South Jenny Lake will not be open until the snow recedes naturally and final construction work can be completed on a bridge spanning Cottonwood Creek. An announcement will be made when the new pathway opens.
