Let's Keep Our Trails Beautiful Together!
Friends of the Bridger-Teton helps maintain and support more than 2,000 miles of trails on the fifth-largest national forest in the U.S. With 3.4 million acres of breathtaking landscapes, the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) offers endless adventures.
Recreate Responsibly
While you enjoy all that BTNF has to offer, please recreate responsibly. Your actions help preserve this important resource for future generations.
Join Us in Our Mission
The U.S. Forest Service alone can’t keep up with all of the maintenance and work the BTNF’s trail network requires. We need everyone to pitch in and partner with us to preserve the forest’s stunning landscapes and resources. Whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word—every bit helps.
Support Our Trails Today
The Bridger-Teton National Forest is a special place. A donation to Friends of the Bridger-Teton helps us continue to keep it that for future generations.

Last Saturday, Teton Backcountry Alliance's free Teton Pass Shuttle hit a new single-day record—101 riders! 🎉 The shuttle runs every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through March 29, 2026 and really helps with congestion at the most popular backcountry ski area on the BTNF. Dogs are welcome on the shuttle, too!
See the shuttle schedule in the link in our bio.

On Sunday, January 11, 2026, at approximately 2pm, a party of two snowmobilers was involved in a fatal avalanche accident in LaBarge Creek, about one mile south of the Commissary Ridge weather station.
Read more about the incident in the link in our bio. There's also a link in our bio to the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center, which does daily avalanche forecasts for five areas in the BTNF.
