Join the Loop

Put your business in front of travelers, at the heart of North America’s most scenic international drive.

The International Selkirk Loop is a non-profit organization made up of hundreds of member businesses across Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia. Together, we promote one of the most scenic drives in North America: a 280-mile (450 km) adventure that draws travelers right into the heart of our communities.

Since 1999, our mission has been to elevate the visibility of this incredible region and inspire visitors to explore the places that make it so special, including yours. Membership means more than just marketing exposure; it means joining a collaborative network that helps travelers discover your business and experience our corner of the world more deeply.
