Grand Teton National Park began plowing the inner park road five days ago, on Monday March 22nd 2021. Today they announced via their facebook page that the road would open to non-motorized travel tomorrow, Saturday, March 27th. I decided to beat the weekend crowds and head up today to check out the conditions and get some much needed exercise. Living in Moose, WY I frequently ride the bike path to Jenny Lake but I definably enjoy this time of year when there are no cars and very few people around.
This can be a very windy area throughout the year, but it’s especially annoying in the spring when snow and freezing cold air exacerbates the problem. I rode 24 miles today but if felt like a lot more battling the wind nearly the entire time!
