Events & Activities
-
Take a Hike!
Hiking is second nature to us here in Boise. With the foothills literally in our backyard, there are more trails than we can count. Some of our favorites and Boise-must trek trails are from the Idaho Penitentiary to Stack Rock from Bogus Basin, Cervidae Peak from Lucky Peak Reservoir, or around the hills of Camel’s Back. Be sure to start in the morning and avoid the dry, Boise summer sun heat. -
Boise Hawks Baseball Game
Boise has its very own minor league baseball team. Equipped with their own stadium, a Hawks game makes the perfect summer activity. As part of the Pioneer League, you might just catch a player before they go Pro! -
Take a Leisurely Walk Through the Botanical Gardens
Summer is the perfect time to see our stunning Botanical Gardens in bloom. With awesome events every summer, there’s always something fun to do here. -
Ride the Mountain Coaster at Bogus Basin
Bogus Basin Mountain Resort recently put in their latest and greatest attraction. You can ride the mountain coaster for $19 for a single ride, or $29 for tandem. -
