MOOSE, Wyo. - Drivers and cyclists on the Moose-Wilson Road will experience intermittent delays from September 23 until the winter road closure for movement of construction equipment and supplies. Pilot cars and one-lane travel may be in place for public safety and resource protection.

Death Canyon Road will be closed to all users starting October 1 as Lower Valley Energy relocates overhead electrical lines underground. Hiking, biking and driving on Death Canyon Road will be prohibited until winter. To access Phelps Lake or Death Canyon after the closure, visitors can use the Valley Trail from the Granite Canyon Trailhead.

The Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve entrance road, parking area, and trailhead will also be closed starting September 23 for parking lot and accessibility improvements. Preserve hiking trails in the Phelps Lake area will remain open, but only if accessed from the Valley Trail. All trails will reopen for winter recreation. Funding for the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve project comes from Jackson Hole Preserve Inc., one of Grand Teton's longest standing partners.

Motorists and cyclists on the Moose-Wilson Road should plan ahead for delays. Roadwork schedules may change without notice, or be delayed, due to weather conditions or other extenuating circumstances.

The Moose-Wilson Road closes seasonally to vehicles starting November 1. The road will be accessible as normal for winter recreation.
