Shaping the Future of Trails in Idaho
At Gem State Trail Advocates, we work alongside land managers, communities, and partners to create thoughtful, sustainable, and inclusive trail systems across Idaho. Our services are rooted in real-world experience, collaboration, and a deep understanding of how trails serve people.
Advocacy Strategy Development
We help organizations and communities build clear, effective strategies to move trail projects forward. From identifying stakeholders to navigating decision-making processes, we provide a roadmap for turning ideas into action.
Advocacy
We serve as a voice for trails and the people who use them. Whether engaging with land managers, participating in planning efforts, or representing user groups, we advocate for well-designed, accessible, and sustainable trail systems.
Mapping & GIS
Using modern mapping tools and GIS technology, we provide detailed insights to support planning and decision-making. Our services include trail mapping, spatial analysis, and visualizations that help bring projects to life and communicate ideas clearly.
Trail Planning & Design
We assist in planning and designing trail systems that are intentional, functional, and enjoyable. From concept to layout, we focus on connectivity, user experience, and long-term sustainability.
Trail Management Strategies
Great trails require thoughtful management. We help develop strategies that support maintenance, minimize environmental impact, and ensure trails remain accessible and enjoyable for years to come.
Adaptive Trail Design (aMTB)
We specialize in designing trails that meet adaptive mountain biking (aMTB) standards. Our goal is to create spaces where riders of all abilities can explore and recreate with confidence, ensuring inclusivity is built into every mile of trail.
