Check on trail conditions
before you go... 

Please check with local land managers before you head out on The Idaho Centennial Trail. Click here  to see a map with the telephone numbers and web sites for contacting local land managers thoughout the trail’s length.

Be aware that trail conditions may change or deteriorate because of cataclysmic environmental or climactic events, logging, mining, road-building, wildfires, avalanches, mudslides or other natural or unnatural events.

Trail conditions will vary according to how much use they receive and how often they are maintained. Some of the ICT route through federally designated wilderness areas follows pretty popular routes. These trails are typically maintained each year.

Other trails in unclassified primitive areas may not receive trail maintenance on an annual basis, if ever. But local recreation officers with the U.S. Forest Service should have a good idea about the trail conditions, regardless.

Wildfires and blow-down events in particular can make it difficult to stay with a ICT after hundreds of trees have dropped across the trail.

As a safeguard, we recommend that anyone who travels the ICT to carry detailed maps with them, along with a compass, and a GPS unit. Ideally, ICT users should pre-program travel routes or key landmark waypoints into their GPS so they can stay connected with the Centennial Trail during their trip.
