Wyoming Pathways

Wyoming Pathways’ goal is to encourage safe bicycling and walking – helping to create better WY! Who we are. Visit our web site: http://www.wyopath.org

Wyoming Pathways is a nonprofit organization founded to help communities and enhance public lands across Wyoming by making bicycling, walking and skiing safe, convenient and accessible for both residents and visitors. Wyoming Pathways recognizes the proven personal health and community economic benefits of pathway and trail systems. We will advocate for public policies and investments in public tr

ails, pathways and complete streets for all Wyoming communities. We will help coordinate efforts to advance nonmotorized recreation, transportation trail programs through public outreach, legislative efforts, partnerships and education.

We recently hit the ground at French Creek Trail alongside our incredible partners at Laramie Bikenet, the Wyoming Conservation Corps, and our liaison, Olivia Leviton, to complete a thorough trail assessment!

Before any maintenance gets underway, we want to make sure local voices are front and center. That is why we are hosting community listening sessions this fall and spring in Laramie and Saratoga. Stay tuned for dates and details. We can't wait to hear your thoughts!

“Some of you might know that I spent a chunk of this year in Santa Fe supporting my partner on a travel contract. Even from afar, I never truly left Wyoming Pathways. I was always cheering from the sidelines, helping out where I could, and diving into other gigs I enjoy, like coordinating volunteers, helping plan the International Climbers Festival, and working with kids at a local daycare in Lander.

It was a nice change of pace and a much needed creative reset, but I am thrilled to share that I am back on board full time as our Community Engagement Manager. Our small but mighty team has so much incredible momentum right now with trail projects happening right here in Lander and across the state. I am eager to reengage and hit the ground running with the work and organization that I love so much.

It feels like I never left (because I kind of never did, haha!), but it is so good to be back in action. I am deeply grateful to continue working with all of our amazing partners and the communities we serve.”

Sincerely,

Grace Templeton :)

We have massive trail projects underway at Johnny Behind the Rocks this year, and our team is beyond excited about what is already on the ground!

This video features Moses Returns, a new route built for hikers, runners, and horseback riders (though you see Mike biking in the video just to cover ground quickly, bikes are welcome here too!). It offers fun rideable features, incredible terrain, and never before seen vistas, creating a stunning long loop connecting Red Ridge to the Falls Trail.

Please note that construction is still underway, so the trail is not yet open to the public. Wyoming Pathways has incredibly high standards when it comes to our trail projects. We make sure we build them right the first time to minimize future maintenance headaches for land managers.

We are aiming for an end of year completion and a community ribbon cutting to celebrate. Stay tuned because these new routes are going to change the game for Lander recreation!

Hey Lander, can you tell how excited we are about this project?

The updates are officially complete at McManus Park, right next to Lander City Park! We teamed up with the City of Lander and the Wyoming Conservation Corps to clear debris, drastically reducing fire risk while making the trails safer and more enjoyable for everyone.

We love keeping our local spaces thriving and hope to do work like this in Lander for many years to come. Take a look next time you are out on the trails and let us know what you think!

If you want to support more projects like this, consider making a donation to Wyoming Pathways. Every dollar helps keep our local trails great! https://wyopath.org/donate/

Thank you so much to everyone who donated during this year’s Challenge for Charities to support our work in Lander! We are deeply grateful that the town we call home and love so much sees the value of what we do.

Because of your incredible generosity, we raised $12,460, surpassing our total from last year. We have so many exciting projects happening around Lander right now, and these funds will help us finish them while making our community safer and more fun for everyone. From Johnny Behind the Rocks and Lander City Park to Popo Agie Park and new pedestrian-activated crosswalks, we are proud to collaborate with amazing local partners on these efforts.

We are also beyond stoked to have Grace back in the saddle helping with community engagement again! If you want to connect with her about projects, partnerships, events, or fundraising, you can reach out directly at [email protected].

Between Centennial and Saratoga in the Snowy Range: French Creek Trail Rehabilitation Project Update!

In partnership with Laramie Bikenet, Trail F.A.I.R.I.E.S, and the USFS, we are rehabilitating several sections of the French Creek Trail. These improvements will enhance the trail experience and create a new, adventurous loop in connection with the Tie Hack Trail. The French Creek Trail is a legacy trail with the character to match. The improvments made will be community-driven and will reflect the existing nature of the trail.

Lovell: Cottonwood Campground 26-Mile Trail System Update!

We recently traveled to Lovell for a site visit with the Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund Board, city leaders, and the BLM to showcase the regional growth this project will spark. We are thrilled to share that the proposal put forth by the City of Lovell was a success, and they have officially secured a $300,000 grant from the Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund.

The City of Lovell is now moving forward with an application for an additional $300,000 grant. If secured, this second round of funding will cover half of the total construction costs, allowing completion of 13 of the 26 planned miles of trail. This initial approval clears the way for construction to begin next year, marking a massive win for both the Lovell community and the entire state of Wyoming. Wyoming Pathways is proud to support the City of Lovell throughout this process by providing project management and construction oversight.
