About ISTA
Volunteers keeping Southeastern Idaho's single track open for everyone who uses it.
Our mission
Our goal is to help keep the single-track systems throughout Southeastern Idaho in the best condition possible, so we can all enjoy the beauty that Idaho has to offer. As ambassadors, we bring over 40 years of single-track riding experience and are lifelong residents of Idaho. We want to show our love and support for Idaho by maintaining and protecting its single-track system.
What we do
Every year our volunteers cut out the trees that come down across the trails, and build and repair the bridges and fences that keep them open. Small crews go out whenever there's work to do, and bigger jobs become work days with sponsors and a crowd of helpers.
See it on Trail updates and Past projects.
Certified
We are certified in:
- Forest Service S212
- Chainsaw level A

Who we work with
We work closely with the US Forest Service and the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation on their trail projects, and with sponsors such as Yamaha.
How your group can help
The single track is shared by motorcycles, mountain bikes, horses and hikers, and keeping it open is work for all of us. If your club or group would like to help:
Become a member
ISTA's members are the crews who keep the trails open, and we'd love to have you. Whether you ride, hike or just love Idaho's single track, you're welcome. Becoming a member takes two things:
- Sign our volunteer waiver.
- Give at least 5 hours a year to trail work.
We bring waivers to our events, so you can sign up when you come out. If you'd rather, print the form, sign it and bring it with you. Your spouse or partner and children under 18 can join on the same form.
Five hours is about one work day, out on the trails alongside people who've been riding them for decades. Questions? Get in touch.
