Driving back from Missoula, Montana, on Sunday after a soccer match, Jackson resident Sadek Darwiche found himself among those taking an alternate route now that Teton Pass has washed out and been closed for the foreseeable future.

Among the things he noticed during the drive are the lack of signs to help direct people through this alternate route into Jackson from Idaho, as well as the timing of stop lights, which he said seemed off when it comes to keeping the traffic moving.

“I feel for the people who are going to have to drive around that,” he told Teton County Commissioners on Monday during a meeting to discuss strategies to deal with the washout, which has closed one of four primary routes into Jackson right as tourism season is grinding into high gear.

“As you know, we have Legacy Lodge, and I would like to let you know that is 57 units,” Darwiche said. “It is fully built and connected to the grid.”
