Moose-Wilson Road to reopen to traffic June 19

Date:
June 18, 2026

MOOSE, Wyo.- Grand Teton National Park will reopen the northern section of Moose-Wilson Road between the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve and Moose to through traffic on June 19, marking a major milestone in the park's 2026 construction season.

Beginning June 19, visitors may travel the full length of Moose-Wilson Road between the Granite Canyon Entrance Station and Moose. While the road will be open, visitors should expect intermittent delays of up to 45 minutes or longer through Labor Day as construction vehicles and equipment move along the narrow roadway.

Visitors should also be aware that the section of Moose-Wilson Road between the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve and the Death Canyon Road junction remains an unpaved gravel surface as construction continues. There is no roadside parking or stopping in the construction zone. Drivers should reduce speed, watch for loose gravel, be prepared for delays, and follow instructions from flaggers. Cyclists should follow the same instructions as vehicles.

Current construction activity on the Moose-Wilson Road project includes improvements to Death Canyon Road and the development of a new Death Canyon Trailhead. As a result, Death Canyon Road and the Death Canyon Trailhead will remain closed to all use throughout the 2026 season.

Other construction projects this season
In addition to Moose-Wilson Road and Death Canyon Road, visitors can expect construction activity in several other areas of the park this season, including:

• Taggart Lake Trail and Trailhead
• Cottonwood Creek Picnic Area
• Mormon Row
• North Park Road between Leeks Marina and Lizard Creek Campground

Visitors should be prepared for periodic delays, temporary closures, and changing traffic patterns in construction areas. As summer visitation increases, visitors are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use available trip-planning resources to help navigate construction impacts throughout the park.
