Boise

The capitol city is nestled along the edge of the mountains giving over to amazing views. While you have moderate temperatures along the desert like edge of the area, you only have a few minutes to drive to get into the snowy mountains for skiing in the winter, or fishing and hiking in the summer. With a population of just over 214,000, Boise offers some of that big city feel wrapped up in a small-town attitude. From the beauty of the Northend to the rural areas south of town, you always have a place to go and to meet people. Farmer’s markets, first Thursday events downtown, concerts, theater shows at the Morrison Center and of course the BSU blue turf are just a few of the entertainment possibilities to experience.
