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.

Why are you a BFF of the BTNF?
Jackson Hole Fire/EMS celebrates Patriot Day by hiking with their gear and/or badges to the summit of Snow King, which is part of the BTNF. The peak, which rises above downtown Jackson is almost equivalent in elevation to the 100 stories of each of the World Trade Center towers. (The North Tower was 1,368 vertical feet tall; Snow King has a vertical rise of about 1,500 feet.)
Join Fire/EMS hikers from 4–7 p.m., or just come out to support them.

Have you floated the Snake River this summer? Do you have some ideas about how the fees collected via the new fee system should be used to enhance the user experience and the Snake River?
"I’m excited that folks who enjoy the Snake River have the opportunity to contribute to the health of the river and facilities along it and see positive improvements happen along it down the road,” says Louis Shahan, River Program Manager, BTNF Jackson District, about the new fee program that went into effect May 1 on the Wild and Scenic Snake River Canyon. The majority of the money collected from the fee—$5/vehicle/day or $40/season pass—stays with the BTNF and is earmarked specifically for Snake River projects.
“We’re going to be reaching out to the community and river users to see what they would like to see done on the river,” Shahan says. One thing already on the radar is paving more of the road down to the Astoria put-in/take-out. “There are some major potholes coming down to that location after you turn off the highway and they’re only getting bigger,” Shahan says. “I know that will an appreciated fix.”
If you’d like to weigh in with ideas for how the fees collected this summer are spent to enhance the Snake River starting next summer, email sm.fs.jd_srp@usda.gov.
