Keep Idaho’s hiking trails open for all!

Have you heard of Idaho Trails Association?

The mission of Idaho Trails Association (ITA) is to keep Idaho’s hiking trails open for all. They work with volunteers to preserve Idaho’s trail system through education, maintenance projects, and public lands advocacy.

Federal and state funding for the care of Idaho’s trails is far short of what is needed to keep most of them open and usable. ITA was founded in 2010 to help address this problem by creating a community of outdoor enthusiasts who recruit and teach volunteers how to do trail work to maintain access to Idaho’s incredible public lands.

Caretaking of trails fosters a deeper love for nature and desire to preserve wild places for generations to come. This work benefits volunteers who participate in projects, the trail users who experience well-maintained trails, and fragile ecosystems that will see a reduced human impact from users going off-trail.
