Pedal Powered Tetons JACKSON’S FAVORITE ROAD AND MOUNTAIN BIKING Words & Photos by Ben Gavelda
As the season’s snowfall fades away, the paths and trails of the Tetons come alive with bikes. In a bike seat at this slower cyclical pace the landscape unfolds intimately.

of town on the bike paths that line Jackson Hole, biking in the Tetons does not disappoint. The area’s riding and the culture that sustains it continues to grow. Advocacy, passion, planning, and a remarkable landscape help steer it all. Here’s a brief look at the dirt and paved possibilities the area has to offer.
