Idaho Centennial Trail Signage - Desert Update

A small Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation crew spent three days last month repairing and installing more than 90 Idaho Centennial Trail (ICT) carsonite markers along the desert section of the trail, from the southern terminus to just south of Bennett Mountain. These new signs should make navigation a little easier for users exploring this unique stretch of the ICT. We learned that cows and drivers enjoy knocking these carsonites over, so please don't rely solely on signage for navigation. 🐮

We also added a new logbook - we'd love to hear where you're from, where you're headed, and any thoughts you'd like to share about your adventure!

Our goal is to continue the sign project this fall, extending north to Highway 20. Happy trails!

Exciting news for summer yurt lovers - the roads to all the yurts are officially snow-free! 😎

Although the roads are all drivable, high-clearance four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. 🚗

There is still no water in the barrels at the yurts due to cold temperatures, so please continue bringing all your own water!

And another friendly reminder about campfires: the wood our staff cuts, bucks, and stages around the yurts is intended for the indoor wood stoves. If you’d like to enjoy the outdoor fire pits, please gather your own firewood rather than using the staged rounds. We really appreciate everyone helping us keep the yurts stocked and ready for all guests! 🔥🪓
