Wildlife viewing enthusiasts will find it easier to locate birds in Idaho thanks to the long anticipated update to the Idaho Birding Trail. Originally launched in 2005, this auto-driven way to wander deep into Idaho’s rural communities and along backcountry roads, was created as a tourism initiative to promote outdoor recreational opportunities, provide education and an increased awareness of the state’s important wildlife resources, and create a diversified economic income for rural communities. A state house resolution in 2006 recognized the trail as the official state birding trail.
