4-Wheeling Fun

Half Moon Mountain roadThe Bridger-Teton National Forest offers many miles of roads for 4-wheeling fun. Roads vary from good gravel to rugged two tracks strewn with protruding boulders.

Be sure to check with the local Forest Service and BLM offices for special regulations regarding travel on specific roads and any seasonal closures. Unlike snowmachines, 4-wheeler rentals are not available locally, mostly because there is more risk of injury in case of an accident. Be aware that anyone driving a 4-wheeler or motorcycle on any Wyoming public road must meet 4-wheel drive road near Soda Lakemotorcycle standards by having a valid license plate, brakes, brake light, reflector, headlight, horn, taillight, muffler and mirror. Drivers must have a Class M Motorcycle driver's license and those under 18 must wear a helmet. Three-wheelers may not be ridden on any public roadway, except for agricultural operations.

Many of the roads that are great for 4-wheeling are suitable for mountain biking as well.

 

Fire Season Already Underway
Bridger-Teton National Forest urges fire safety in Forest
With the 2001 Fire Season already underway, the Bridger-Teton National Forest urges local citizens and all forest users to use extreme caution when working and playing in and around the forest. Visitors are urged to check with local wildland fire agencies to obtain the latest fire regulations and restrictions before heading out into the backcountry. Keep campfires small and use existing facilities (fire rings) whenever available. Always keep campfires away from overhanging branches, steep slopes and dry grass, rotten logs or stumps and never leave a campfire unattended. When leaving your campfire at any time, drown and stir all campfires with water and make sure they are "dead out." The Bridger-Teton National Forest has already had several small fires, both human and natural caused, on the Forest within the last two weeks.

Campgrounds
Green River Lakes campgroundGreen River Lakes Campground is open, but the drinking water won't be turned on until it has been tested, so no fees are being charged. Fees are now being charged at Fremont Lake Campground, New Fork Lakes and Whiskey Grove Campground. Fremont Lake Campground now has water and Whiskey Grove has a handpump for water. No water is available at New Fork Lakes. Campsites are available on a first-come basis, but some units are also reservable. Contact the local Forest Service offices (in Pinedale and Big Piney) for current Bear Proof Containerconditions of campgrounds and trails in the Wind River and Wyoming mountains.

Black bears have been reported this week at the upper Fremont Lake Campground in the Upper Green, and a grizzly bear was reported in the Upper Green Jim Creek area south of Gypsum Creek. Bear-proof containers are available at some campspots at Green River Lakes. This week's Pinedale Roundup newspaper has a picture of one of two cougars that were spotted recently by the Willow Creek Guard Station.

The road is paved the entire way and winds through rolling sagebrush hills at the lower end, then through groves of aspen and conifer trees as it ascends. As of a couple of days ago, the road was open almost all the way to the top. The campground and trailhead parking lot are still not accessible (see picture). It won't be long though!
    Wildlife is often seen on this drive, especially in the mornings and in the evenings, with antelope and deer Last stretch of road still snowed in.being almost guaranteed along the lower glacial moraine. In early spring, elk are often seen grazing in the grassy meadows along the hill slopes (bring binoculars for best views).
   This drive has scenic views of 11-mile long Fremont Lake, and Half Moon Lake, and passes by White Pine Ski area. Along the way are numerous pull-outs with scenic vistas for picture-taking, and short side roads to pull off for a family picnic. The main road is well-maintained and has good turn around space at the top for those in RVs or pulling horse trailers. (Side roads are dirt, and can be rocky and a bit rough, and may not be suitable for RVs or low clearance cars.) During the summer season, the Pinedale Ranger District staffs the visitor center at the Trail's End Campground at the end of the road.
Lakeside Lodge   Lakeside Lodge, located on Fremont Lake just off this road, offers restaurant, motel and cabin accommodations, and boat rentals.

BIG PINEY & MARBLETON still waiting for Wyoming.com internet service
The phone lines have been in place for almost 2 months, but Big Piney and Marbleton are still waiting for the word that they can sign up for higher speed internet access through Wyoming.com. What's the hold up? According to Wyoming.com, things were all set to go, then disagreements emerged with Century-Tel in Kalispell, Montana, about tariffs for the phone line service. Wyoming.com, based out of Riverton, Wyoming, provides internet service throughout the state of Wyoming, including the northern end of Sublette County. Big Piney and Marbleton are currently being served by Trib.com. No word about when the disagreements might be resolved. So in the meantime, south county residents wait for Century Tel and Wyoming.com to work things out.

Road Construction Update Road work in front of the old Library
May 10: It's still a challenge to figure out which lane you're supposed to be in as you get on main street, but the road crews are doing a good job of keeping things well marked for traffic snaking through town around waterline holes. There are no delays for through traffic, but drivers should be aware that there are no pavement markings for the 2 miles through town. Follow signs and orange lane markers. (more)
