Connecting Communities
Connecting Communities
TVTAP's vision is the creation and maintenance of a "connected community." Our trails and pathways programs are the cornerstones of this connectivity.
What is the difference between a trail and a pathway? We consider a trail to be an earthen path - generally on public land - that is accessible to the members of the community. Some trails are designated for foot traffic only, or for foot and bicycle traffic. Others are "multiple use" and are shared with motorized recreational vehicles like dirt bikes and 4-wheelers as well. We work with the Caribou-Targhee National Forest's office here in Driggs to help maintain an extensive trail system on public lands surrounding the valley.
A pathway is generally a paved surface within an urban or semi-urban area that allow residents to safely and easily access important community locations, such as schools, churches, and shopping areas. We fostered the creation of the popular Driggs-Victor Pathway, and we are continually working with the cities and county to create and maintain new pathways within and between subdivisions and sections of the valley.
This section of our website is devoted to our trails and pathways projects - past, present, and future. If you would like to be involved with any of these projects, or have a suggestion for a project you'd like to see us get involved with, please contact us!
