9 days in Boise Itinerary

From its main thoroughfare, Boise greets visitors with a view of downtown framed by the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Escape the urban bustle at Ridge to River Trail System and Hulls Gulch Nature Trail. Get some historical perspective at Old Idaho Penitentiary and Boise Idaho Temple. Get out of town with these interesting Boise side-trips: Jump Creek (in Marsing), Lawson's Emu-Z-um (in Grand View) and Glenns Ferry (Three Island Crossing State Park & Oregon Trail). There's still lots to do: take a stroll through Hyde Park, tour the pleasant surroundings at Boise River Greenbelt, identify plant and animal life at Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, and stroll around Camel's Back Park.
