Biking

Cyclists can explore over 2,000 miles of trails winding through rugged mountains and pristine forests in the Bridger-Teton National Forest.

E-Biking

E-bikes (electric bikes) are a great way to see the Bridger-Teton National Forest! They’re fun and give you a boost, but since they’re motorized, there are some simple rules to follow. Here’s what you need to know to ride smart and enjoy the forest:

Where You Can Ride: E-bikes are allowed only on trails and roads marked for motorized use. Check the free Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) at ranger offices or online to find these spots. You’ll love trails like the Shadow Mountain area motorized trail system or the Crankshaft Trail in the Mosquito Creek drainage. But stay off non-motorized trails like Cache Creek or Teton Pass—those are just for regular bikes. Any trail open to off-highway vehicles (OHVs) or motorcycles is good for e-bikes too, taking you through forests and up scenic ridges.
Tips for a Great Ride: Plan ahead for the forest’s huge 3.4 million acres—make sure your battery can handle it! Bring a map or use the Avenza app to stay on track. On the trail, be nice and yield to hikers and horses. Stick to the rules—riding where you shouldn’t can mean a fine.

E-bikes make it easy to enjoy the forest’s awesome views and trails, whether you’re new to riding or a pro. Hit the right paths and have a blast exploring!

Mountain Biking

Mountain biking on the Bridger-Teton National Forest is an adventure you won’t forget! With over 2,000 miles of trails, there’s something for every rider, from easy rolls to tough climbs. Here’s what you need to know to hit the trails and love every minute:

Where You Can Ride: You’ve got tons of options on the forest’s trails, open to non-motorized use unless marked otherwise. Popular spots like Cache Creek, Game Creek, and Teton Pass offer sweet singletrack with stunning views—perfect for pedaling through pines and meadows. Check the free trail maps at ranger offices or online to find your next ride.
What’s Special: The forest has it all—flowy descents, rocky challenges, and big mountain vibes. We’re always maintaining and marking routes to keep them fun and safe. Wilderness areas—like the Gros Vente, Bridger, and Teton Wilderness—are off-limits to bikes to protect their wild beauty, but there’s plenty outside those zones to explore.
Tips for a Great Ride: Bring water, snacks, and a repair kit—the forest’s 3.4 million acres mean some trails are remote! Grab a map or use an app like Avenza to stay on course. Share the trail nicely: yield to hikers and horses, and give uphill riders the right-of-way. Helmets are a must, and checking trail conditions before you go keeps you ready for mud or dust.

Mountain biking here lets you soak in the forest’s wild landscapes while getting your heart pumping. Pick a trail, pedal out, and enjoy the ride!

Road Cycling

Road cycling on the Bridger-Teton National Forest is a fantastic way to take in its jaw-dropping scenery at your own pace! With paved roads and quieter forest routes winding through mountains and valleys, it’s perfect for a smooth ride. Here’s what you need to know to enjoy the journey:

Where You Can Ride: Hit the forest’s paved roads and designated routes open to vehicles—check the free Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) at ranger offices or online for the best options. Scenic highways like Teton Pass (WY-22) or the Hoback Canyon stretch offer stunning views of peaks and rivers, with wide shoulders in spots for safer cycling. Lesser-known forest roads, like those near Greys River, give you a peaceful spin through pines and open vistas. Just steer clear of trails meant only for hiking or off-road vehicles.
What’s Special: The forest’s 3.4 million acres serve up unforgettable rides—think rolling climbs, long descents, and wildlife sightings around every bend. Routes near Jackson or the Snake River tie into bigger loops if you’re up for a challenge. Spring and fall bring quieter roads and crisp air, while summer dazzles with wildflowers. No wilderness zones here—roads stay outside those boundaries—so you’ve got plenty of pavement to explore.
Tips for a Great Ride: Pack water, snacks, and a flat tire kit—some stretches are remote with no quick stops. Wear bright gear and a helmet since you’ll share roads with cars. Watch the weather—mountain winds or sudden rain can sneak up fast. A map or app like Avenza helps you navigate turns and find hidden gems.

Road cycling here mixes adventure with beauty, letting you cruise past towering peaks and sparkling streams. Saddle up, pick a route, and roll through the Bridger-Teton’s magic!
