Idaho Centennial Trail
The Idaho Centennial Trail extends over 1200 miles from the Nevada border north to the border with Canada. The route was established in 1986 by Roger Williams, a member of the Idaho Trails Council. Portions of the Idaho Centennial Trail can be found in the areas around Sun Valley and the Wood River Valley in the Sawtooth National Forest and National Recreation Area, the Challis, Boise, Payette and Nez Perce National Forests, and the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Check with the Public Land Information Center to make sure you get the correct maps for the segment you are using. more info
The sections of the Idaho Centennial Trails that are found near the Wood River Valley pass through all types of ecological zones. The visitor can find himself or herself surrounded by old growth cedar trees, pristine glacial lakes, rocky, rugged peaks, lush green forests, granite spires reaching to the sky, fast flowing rivers, meandering streams and open meadows. The wildlife along the way is just as varied as the landscape.
Depending on what section of the Trail you are using, you can find yourself on single-track trails, dirt roads, or jeep trails. The Trail is designated so that any type of user can enjoy the finest Idaho experience. In the wilderness area north of the Wood River Valley, the Idaho Centennial Trail branches in two directions, so that those who are using mountain bikes, snowmobiles, trail bikes, or ATV's can continue on the trail without violating the rules of the wilderness.
The Idaho Centennial Trail provides an avenue through the State for hikers, bikers, trail riders and backpackers.
