Join Idaho Trails Association’s ICT Ambassador, Clay Jacobson, for a discussion on Idaho’s thousand-mile, long-distance hike. Past and present hikers are encouraged to come and join the conversation as we explore the history and future of this unparalleled wilderness route. Clay hiked the ICT in 2015 and has since been working with Idaho Trails Association to help address the trail’s maintenance and management issues.

The Sun Valley Museum of Art is collaborating with Boise State University’s College of Innovation + Design to bring their MashUp lecture series to the Wood River Valley. Inspired by similar programs at Denver Museum of Contemporary Art and the Palm Springs Art Museum, MashUps are designed to bring audiences together with lecturers to create new connections and linkages between disparate ideas. For each MashUp evening, two presenters will each speak for 20 minutes on a topic of their passion, and a third 20-minute segment invites the audience to ask questions and find commonality between the two disparate topics.
