The Idaho Atlas and Gazetteer and the only guidebook on the trail, “Discover Idaho’s Centennial Trail,” are 5 to 10 years old and some trail sections have been moved.
Again, the ICT maps on the IDPR web site are the best and most up to date routes. Users tell us that the guidebook and the Idaho Benchmark Atlas provide valuable supplementary information.
On the ground, follow the ICT markers and USFS trail signs, where they exist. One recent user said it best, “Traveling the Idaho Centennial Trail is a challenging, discovery type of experience. I enjoyed that aspect of the trip.” It is incumbent on ICT backcountry travelers to research and plan their journey in great detail, and you’ll have a great time. The trail is not signed, marked or blazed in the same manner as the Appalachian Trail or Pacific Crest Trail.
Go to The IDPR web site and read more about the ICT.

We've enjoyed backpacking the ICT between the Little Joe Rd and Hoodoo Pass for many years. Does anyone know the history of the cairns and the short/long trail marker blazes on the trees? We were there before the snow was gone one year and they really helped keep us on the trail. Dave Stengel
maybe the survey of the MT-ID state border?
