Phillips Ridge Restricted

The next phase of the Teton to Snake Fuels Reduction Project on the Jackson Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest is set to begin Wednesday on Phillips Ridge. Throughout the next month, contractors will be cutting trees and stacking woody debris to minimize fire hazards in proximity to the powerline road, the Snotel and Phillips Ridge trails. In order to provide for public safety and allow contractors to complete the tree cutting as quickly as possible, dispersed camping will be suspended on Phillips ridge east of the Snotel trail and the Phillips road will be temporarily closed to vehicle traffic for approximately 3-weeks. Camping between the trailhead and the Snotel road is permitted but will be walk-in only with four to five sites available. People wishing to camp near Teton Pass are encouraged to explore the Fall Creek Road corridor. Temporary closures will also be in effect for the Snotel and Phillips Ridge Trails and the paragliding launch site.
