History
The notion of a trail connecting the Northern and Southern borders of Idaho was first envisioned in the early 1980s. Roger Williams and Syd Tate came up with the idea in 1986. Williams and Tate were made a challenging three month long, twelve hundred mile journey over the entire length of Idaho and in the process the idea of an official trail route was born.
The ICT was designated as the official state trail during Idaho’s Centennial year in 1990 by the Lasting Legacy Committee of the Idaho Centennial Commission. Since then the number of hikers completing the trail have remained low.
