Trails for All: A Commitment to Inclusion in the Outdoors

Trails for All is a movement toward a more inclusive outdoor experience, challenging outdated perceptions of who can enjoy outdoor recreation. By improving trail accessibility, fostering respect, and promoting equitable opportunities, the Boise outdoor community is making trails more welcoming for all, regardless of ability, background, or experience. Through trail enhancements, updated signage, and community outreach, the initiative is expanding access and engagement, ensuring more people can connect with nature, improve well-being, and build community.

Design

The design of Trails for All materials reflects the initiative’s commitment to inclusivity through thoughtful visual elements and clear, accessible communication. Bold yet inviting colors, along with iconic outdoor imagery, highlight the passion and dedication of Boise’s diverse trail users. Representation of individuals across different ages, abilities, and backgrounds reinforces the message of inclusion. Easy-to-read typography and a modern yet practical design aesthetic reflect Boise’s unique culture while ensuring materials remain engaging and functional. By incorporating these design principles, Trails for All creates an experience that is welcoming, inspiring, and accessible to all trail users.
