The Bridger-Teton National Forest has temporarily closed the portion of the Cache Creek road accessing the trailhead. The parking area at the Nelson Drive trailhead is also closed. The temporary closure went into effect Monday morning. The temporary closure is necessary to allow the road crew to install a new culvert to alleviate flooding at Cache Creek and help protect the road surface. The snow floor on the roads accessing these trailheads deteriorated significantly over the weekend due to the warming temperatures resulting in some minor accidents and a number of vehicles becoming stuck. The road crew will also clear as much slush off the road and parking areas as possible. This will allow the road surface to dry more quickly. Jackson District Ranger Mary Moore is asking for people’s patience. “If people can hold off driving to these trailheads for a little while, we can avoid damage to the road surface.” The road will be re-opened as soon as the snow melts out and the road dries enough to sustain vehicle use. The trailheads are still accessible via foot or bike travel. The public is encouraged to check with the Forest Service on current conditions before attempting to drive to the trailhead.
