The largest city and the capital of Idaho, Boise is located in southwestern Idaho on the Boise River with the magnificent Rockies as its background. Boise is known as the City of Trees, and nature is an important part of the city’s identity. The riverfront trails run through the city, and the nearby Boise National Forest covers 2.5 million acres of spectacular recreation among the rivers, mountains, canyons, and forests. The city’s downtown is a delight of ornate art deco buildings, including the Boise Art Museum with its contemporary art collections and sculpture garden. Just around the corner is the imposing sandstone structure of the Idaho State Capitol building and the 19th century Old Idaho Penitentiary, with gallows, historical weaponry, and prison cells. The Idaho History Museum and the Pioneer Village are great places to learn more about the city’s past. Boise is artsy, quirky, lively, and a joy to explore. Don’t miss their interesting craft breweries.
