"We are pleased to hold our 21st American Trails International Trails Symposium at the elegant Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Resort Destination! Besides the endless beauty of the northern-most part of the Sonoran Desert; the towering, blooming saguaro; flowering ocotillo; jumping cholla; agave; lovely palo verde; soaring hawks; mountain lion tracks; dramatic mountains; and endless sunshine— we are excited to show off the bountiful trail activities within close proximity for all trail types including hiking, bicycling, equestrian, OHV, mountain bicycling, and water. The Fountain Hills, Mesa, and Scottsdale communities are excited for our arrival and look forward to serving the trails community in the Valley of the Sun." -- Pam Gluck, Executive Director, American Trails

The American Trails International Trails Symposium (ITS) is your best opportunity to network with the nationwide trails community and learn state of the art trail planning, development, and management techniques. The Symposium addresses both non-motorized and motorized issues and our vision for trails and greenways nationwide. Dozens of speakers and keynote presenters will join us from the trails community across America and beyond our borders. We also provide great opportunities for sponsors as well as exhibitors.
Join us April 14-17, 2013! The biennial American Trails International Trails Symposium is the premier opportunity for trail advocates, managers, builders, planners, and users— as well as tourism and business interests— to come together to communicate and experience an inspirational and educational conference. The Symposium is a gathering of trail enthusiasts and professionals representing all types of trail users. This is the only national gathering of all trail interests who believe their combined voices are the best way to strengthen trails for everyone. The Symposium includes numerous educational sessions covering the broad range of trail issues; nationally prominent speakers; a state-of-the-art exhibit hall; informative and interactive mobile workshops; and much more.
The 2010 Symposium generated an estimated 1.8 million dollars for the Chattanooga community!
