Wyoming and Idaho have moved one step closer to completing a pathway over Teton Pass that could connect networks in both states.
A federal grant of $1.3 million to the City of Victor will pay for construction of almost two miles of paved pathway from Moose Creek in Idaho east to the Wyoming state line.
That leaves just six more miles of pathway to build on the west side of Teton Pass, which would then connect to the two Teton community pathway systems at the pass summit.
Officials and supporters in both states were pleased with the news.
âItâs our piece of the puzzle to get the trail up over the pass,â said Victor Mayor Zach Smith. Smith said he was looking forward to a completed pathway, which would provide a tourism boost to the region.
