Protect the Moose-Wilson Corridor

Snake River Overlook

Why It Matters

The Moose-Wilson Corridor in Grand Teton National Park protects 10,000 acres of critical wildlife habitat and significant Indigenous archaeological sites. In 2016, after a comprehensive environmental review, the National Park Service rejected a proposed 7.1-mile separate paved bicycle pathway because of the damage it would cause to these irreplaceable resources. The agency’s September 2016 Record of Decision prohibited its construction. In spring 2026, we learned that the Department of the Interior had directed the Park Service to build the previously rejected pathway. This reversal threatens the resources the original decision sought to protect and underscores the need for renewed environmental review and public involvement.

How to Make a Difference

Write or call your local U.S. House Representative and your state’s two U.S. Senators and ask them to stop the unnecessary destruction of the Moose-Wilson Corridor in Grand Teton National Park.

There are alternative ways to manage the existing road through the fragile Moose-Wilson Corridor without removing thousands upon thousands of trees, destroying critical wildlife habitat for grizzly bears, moose, raptors, nesting birds, and an elk calving ground and without obliterating nationally significant Indigenous archeological sites, all to build a 7.1 mile separate paved bicycle pathway. The pathway would only serve less than 3% of the overall visitors to Grand Teton National Park. The cost to build the pathway is estimated to cost in excess of $40 million dollars.
