Join Idaho Trail Association and the Selway-Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation to learn about the Southern Nez Perce Trail (SNPT), the oldest extant trail in the US and a route used for thousands of years by the Nimiipuu people. The SNPT stretches for 100 miles through north-central Idaho from Elk City, Idaho, to Darby, Montana. Ivar Nelson will talk about the route’s rich history, as well as volunteer efforts to preserve it. Ivar has been working with volunteers, many from McCall, to identify and clear the SNPT for the last ten years. He is the former Director of the University of Idaho Press and currently a columnist for the Lewiston Morning Tribune as well as an author of books about Idaho history.
