EMPOWERING TRAVELERS
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

In 2022, Visit Idaho unveiled Travel With Care, a brilliant program designed to keep Idaho’s great outdoors as jaw-dropping as ever. Think of it as the superhero Idaho deserves, championing respect, kindness, and sustainability for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're hiking, kayaking, or just vibing with nature, these guidelines are here to help you leave Idaho better than you found it.
By traveling with care, you’re not just visiting Idaho—you’re becoming part of its story. Let’s keep this state as wild, wonderful, and welcoming as it’s always been.

RECREATE RESPONSIBLY

North Idaho is basically the Disneyland of the great outdoors—minus the lines, but with way more moose. Hikers, bikers, boaters, ATV riders, whitewater junkies, campers, hunters, and just about every other flavor of adventure-seeker are showing up in record numbers. And while that’s great for the local economy (and your Instagram feed), it’s also putting a serious strain on Idaho’s recreation infrastructure. So, let’s all be the kind of outdoor enthusiasts Mother Nature would swipe right on.

Before heading out, check for closures and have a backup plan (or two) because Idaho’s wilderness doesn’t always cooperate with your itinerary. Stick to designated trails—venturing off the beaten path might seem like a fun idea until you realize you’re damaging fragile habitats, causing erosion, and potentially ending up in a survival documentary. Respect trail etiquette, follow posted rules, and give others their space because nobody likes an oblivious trail hog. Know your limits when planning your excursions; if “moderate difficulty” requires a Google search, maybe reconsider that extreme backcountry trek. Play it safe by choosing lower-risk activities, letting someone know where you’re going, and not being the person who makes the evening news for an unnecessary rescue mission. Bring the essentials—water, snacks, hand sanitizer, a flashlight, and a first-aid kit—because nature doesn’t come with a convenience store. If you’re bringing your dog, leash them and clean up after them; “I’ll grab it later” is just a polite way of saying, “I hope someone else deals with this.”

For those hunting or fishing, make sure you know the seasons and have the right permits unless you enjoy awkward conversations with game wardens. And speaking of wildlife, keep a solid 75 feet between yourself and any moose or elk. They may look majestic and camera-ready, but they do not care about your selfies and definitely don’t want a snack from your hand. If you’re camping, never leave a fire unattended unless you’re hoping to star in an unfortunate news headline.

If you’re heading out on the water, be mindful of your wake because Idaho’s lakes are for everyone. Wear a life jacket even if you think you could outswim a dolphin. And for the love of common sense, keep the booze off the boat unless you want a firsthand experience with law enforcement. Lastly, be patient and kind with local businesses. They’re working hard to make your adventure great, so maybe throw in a thank you while you’re at it. Now, go forth and explore responsibly—Mother Nature is watching.

BE THE VISITOR IDAHO LOVES

• Trail etiquette = good vibes: Respect the rules, yield to others, and share the space with kindness.
  
• Skill-level check: Pick adventures that match your experience—because heroics are overrated when safety’s on the line

SAFETY FIRST, FUN ALWAYS

• Gear up: Bring water, snacks, a flashlight, a first-aid kit, and anything else to stay self-sufficient. You’re not just hiking—you’re prepping for mini Idaho greatness.
• Leash your furry friends: And don’t leave those surprises on the trail for someone else to find later. Gross.

WILDLIFE = LOOK DON'T TOUCH

• Keep your distance: Admire moose, elk, and other wildlife from 75 feet away. Feeding or poking the locals? Big no.
• Fishing or hunting? Know your seasons, and make sure your permits are up to date.

CAMPFIRES + WATER FUN

• Fire safety first: Never leave a campfire unattended. When you’re done, extinguish it thoroughly—no smoldering allowed.
• Boat responsibly: Mind your wake on Idaho’s serene lakes, always wear a life jacket (yes, even if you’re an Olympic-level swimmer), and keep the drinks for after you dock.

PAITENCE = IDAHO ZEN

• Whether it’s sharing trails, waiting at local businesses, or chatting with fellow adventurers, kindness is the currency here. Let’s keep it flowing.
