Boise,
Idaho
Boise, Idaho’s Capital City is unlike most cities. The City of Trees is a rare blend of urban and outdoors; active and relaxing; family-friendly and unforgettable. It boasts interesting and unique sites and attractions, unlimited recreation, and diverse cultural offerings.
At the foot of the scenic Boise Front, Boise boasts several Fortune 500 companies with national and international headquarters or divisions, sprawling high-tech campuses and a major university with a distinctive blue football field. This city, with a river running through it, enjoys its easily accessible outdoors as much as its eclectic urban offerings.
Boise is really coming into its own as a hip Pacific Northwest city, with a lot of growth and a vibrant downtown. Boise has the largest concentrated Basque population in the U.S. The downtown features an entire city block dedicated to the Basque culture where visitors can experience Basque food, wine, sports, history and culture.
Hikers and bikers have almost 200 miles of trails available in the foothills just above Boise, with trailheads right in town and 104 parks. The wine and craft beer industries have also been gaining national recognition. There are nearly 40 wineries and 20 unique craft breweries within the Boise valley--many within city limits.
