Boise National Forest, ID

Travel Guide

Idaho is an amazing State full of beauty! Just outside of the city of Boise there are many parks and hiking trails. So if it’s city that you love or getting out in Nature, Idaho has something for everyone! This is just outside of Arrowrock Dam. A great place to explore, have a picnic and get away from the city.
Fishing and other things
Finished our hike before the storm rolled in. Plenty of wildflowers still out there. Cascade ID Get out there and enjoy.
This was during an off road trip to Bogus!
Just passed the Blue Lake trail we found this beautiful field of Lupine in bloom. This area has so many lakes to explore and such a diverse terrain for hikers of all levels. I ❤️ Idaho.

Stand under towering trees and keep your eyes peeled for birds and other creatures. Boise National Forest is a rich habitat for plants and animals.

If you're wondering what else there is to keep you busy after you've explored Boise National Forest in Southwest Idaho, you have loads of choice. Stop by Kirkhams Hot Springs. It's conveniently close to the dense growth of trees and offers another insight into this area.

It’s not the nicest Hyatt out there, but it’s also one of the least expensive ones you’ll find. The staff were all very kind & friendly. We initially got a room that was a tad musty, but the staff put us in a different room right away, no problem, that was great. The fitness room was great for the ...

9.4/10 Exceptional! (454 reviews)
Just was “meh”. Not a $200 a night hotel. I don’t care that you have an insanely overpriced steakhouse attached. Rooms were small and when the air was on you could smell the age and the mustiness. Shower was tiny and strange. Won’t stay again. Staff was friendly.
