IT’s THAT TIME OF YEAR TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP AND SHOW SUPPORT FOR IDAHO PATHFINDERS ASSOCIATION.

As a volunteer organization, the Idaho Pathfinders Association membership base represents a strong voice in our goals to enjoy our public lands and keep trails open. The more members we have, the STRONGER is the VOICE of the people who enjoy going up into the mountains and riding the trails. Please talk to your friends and family and let them know why a membership in the Idaho Pathfinders Association goes further than riding trails with other members. It shows a body of people who care about the trails and the importance of keeping these trails open.

IPA’s primary message is “working for the public to keep trails open”.
