Things to do in/around Boise
I'm making the Boise game part of my big trip this year. Didn't do any big trips over the summer so I can spend a week out there.
I'll have five uninterrupted days between two flight days. And from what I've heard there will be others out there as well.
For those who've been out there or have done way more research than me, drop your suggestions.
Keep in mind that I am not what an academic would call "in shape" or "fit," so heavy mountain climbing is out of the question.

Re: Things to do in/around Boise
We will be in Utah starting this Thursday. This is our big vacation this year so to speak
We are doing Zion, Bryce Canyon and Arches.
We roll into Boise the following Thursday night.
By that Friday in Boise, I may want to be in a vegetative state to get ready for Saturday. However, we signed up for some of the App. St. related events on Friday.....so, we shall see if we make them or not.
For many parks, you can drive if you have rental car and do car tours versus hiking. However, realize you may not want to drive to the large national parks in Utah given the drive. I am sure there are state or national parks driving distance rom Boise.
I did not research Boise as our time there is limited.

Re: Things to do in/around Boise
We are flying out to Seattle on Tuesday. Wife is going to see a Linkin Park concert and I’m going to the Mariner’s game. Heading to Boise late Thursday. Can’t help you with the activities around Boise as all my plans revolve around hitting various restaurants.

Re: Things to do in/around Boise
It will depend on when we roll into Boise. If my extremely better half wants to spend part of the day at Canyonlands and then drive to Boise, probably going to tap out on Friday. If she wants to get up and go, it could be a game time decision...see how I do in pregame warming upAppSt94 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 15, 2025 7:32 amDon’t make me leave you a wake up call.

Re: Things to do in/around Boise
Ditto hiking the narrows if you can. When I went last year the water level was too high, ended up going to another state park trail that was similar and it was still amazing. Beautiful part of the country for sure.
