    country
    by rsleisk
    The Basques are one of the most mysterious races of people in the world. No one is certain of their origins, but Boise became a mecca for Basque immigrants, maybe there are similarities in climate, I don't know. It was interesting to see this museum and learn more about the Basques.

  • North of Boise are many accessible, easy to get to natural hot springs. There are also some out of the way ones-usually the best, and some commercial one. Its worth getting a map or a book showing where and what they have.

  • This is a network of paths that are occupied by bicyclists, runners, BSU students, and the occasional stalker.
    These paths run alongside the Boise river and many people use it to commute.

    Hiking off of Lick Creek Road....

  • Hiking off of Lick Creek Road. Stop at May's Hardware in town for some hiking info. Or purchase a McCall hiking book at either McCall Drug or Hometown Sports. There are some great hikes off of Lick Creek Road--some of which are very challenging.

    Mining/ghost towns
  • By Idadelf on March 3, 2005
  • Boise Page by Idadelf
  • Touring the back roads of Idaho, you will find old mining towns, relics of the past and lots of history. There are some fascinating places and some are preserved. It makes for good exploring and nice day trips. Some trips can be weekenders and you can end up in very remote area.
