Mountain and Road Biking in Grand Teton National Park

The multi-use pathway and roads pass through a variety of wildlife habitats. Users must be prepared for wildlife interactions. NEVER FEED, APPROACH OR HARASS WILDLIFE—especially large mammals such as bison, moose, elk, pronghorn or bears. Stay at least 300 feet from large animals. Maintain control of your speed and stay aware of your surroundings. Never leave food unattended including backpacks and bike panniers. Follow food storage regulations. Travel in groups if possible. Carry and know how to use bear spray.
