TRAIL WORK
Each summer AMPL employs a full-time trail crew to work on trails in the Jackson Hole/South East Idaho region. Starting each spring our focus is clearing downfall before starting in on brushing overgrown trails, repairing water drainage, and continuing construction on new trails throughout the summer months. Improving and maintaining trails in a sustainable way is crucial for our diverse recreation community’s continued use for generations to come. AMPL is proud to play a role in our regional land and trail stewardship.

NEW TRAILS
Beginning in 2022 AMPL teamed up with the Bridger-Teton National Forest to build new, multi-use trails in the Mosquito drainage off of the popular Crankshaft trail. Over the past couple of years, AMPL has had countless meetings to plan and strategize these new trails with the intent of giving dirt bikers more diverse riding in Teton County, WY. We felt our trail systems were lacking opportunity for riders to progress their skills due to the more beginner/intermediate nature of our motorized single-track trail systems. This project is aimed at adding riding options for those looking to develop their skills on more challenging trails. AMPL also developed and built the Kickstart trail, a mellow loop for young riders to practice their skills. These new trails will add to our local multi-use trail variety and provide fun for all levels of riders for generations to come!
kickstart - Kids loop
AMPL partnered with Crosscut Trails to construct this kid friendly loop. It is located at the start of Crankshaft to make it accessible to kids riding 50cc bikes. The entire loop is within eyesight of the trailhead so parents can keep eyes on their little ones as they rip it up! There are benches located at the start of the trail so parents have a comfortable place to spectate from!
gear down
Gear Down, located about a third of the way around Crankshaft, is a 1.4 mile loop with some more challenging terrain!
arm pump
Arm Pump, located on the Mill Creek end of the Crankshaft trail, is a 3.6 mile loop that flows beautifully through the landscape. This is a great trail for both dirt bikers and e-mountain bikers. It has tight corners and some steep climbs.
