The Teton Park Road has now melted down to pavement and is currently open to non-motorized recreation such as walking, roller-blading, and biking.<\/p>\n<p>However, road crews are still in the process of clearing the Jenny Lake scenic loop road, as well as other auxiliary roads and wayside areas, according to a statement released by the park&#8217;s public affairs office.<\/p>\n<p>Because the annual snow removal operations are still underway, anyone using the Teton Park Road for springtime recreation must be alert for and be prepared for sharing the road with heavy equipment, large trucks, and other park vehicles that will regularly travel this roadway as the spring opening \u00a0continues. As a safety precaution, visitors to this area must stay at least 500 feet back from the large rotary snow removal equipment at work.<\/p>\n<p>The annual plowing of the Teton Park Road is a process that can take several weeks to complete, depending on the depth and consistency of the snowpack. Due to the exceptionally deep and dense snowpack this year, snow removal on just the principal Teton Park Road has taken the better part of two weeks. Still, springtime visitors can look forward to access on this park road for more than three weeks before it opens for the summer travel season. <b>\u00a0<\/b>The Teton Park Road will open again to private vehicle use on Thursday, May 1, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors are reminded that dogs are permitted on the Teton Park Road. Owners are required to keep pets on a leash no longer than six feet in length, and are required to use waste disposal bags to pick up after their dogs. Mutt Mitt stations are in place at the Taggart Lake parking area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand Teton National Park road crews cut through the deep snowpack on the Teton Park Road between the Taggart Lake parking area and Signal Mountain Lodge\u2014a distance of 15 miles\u2014 and completed this portion of the annual spring plowing on Friday, April 4.
