Ashton to Tetonia Rails to Trails Bike Shuttle

About the Ashton to Tetonia Bike Trail
The Ashton-Tetonia Trail, opened in 2010 and is managed by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation through Harriman State Park, spans 29.6 miles following the abandoned Teton Valley Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad from Ashton to Tetonia. Originally built in 1912 by the Oregon Short Line Railroad, this line connected Ashton, Idaho, through Drummond, Lamont, Tetonia, Driggs, and Victor, fostering prosperity in the Teton Valley by linking isolated communities and supporting agricultural commerce. Despite heavy snowfalls often closing the line, it was essential for transportation, with passenger trains connecting to West Yellowstone, Pocatello, and Salt Lake City. However, improvements to State Highways 32 and 33 led to a decline in rail use, resulting in the line’s abandonment from Tetonia to Victor in 1981 and from Ashton to Tetonia in 1984. Today, the trail offers a pristine, secluded environment featuring small riparian areas, stands of aspen, and three historic trestle bridges with breathtaking views of the Teton Mountains. Visitors can enjoy activities such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. The packed gravel/dirt trail is ideal for mountain bikes or bikes with tires at least 32mm wide, while road bikes are not suitable.
