Things To Do While Visiting Boise

Whether its stretching your legs after traveling or relaxing at one of our favorite restaurants, we want you to see some of the reasons why we love Boise

Table Rock Hike

2445 Old Penitentiary Road, Boise, ID 83712

This is our favorite local hike. It is a 3.7 mile round trip hike that gives you a great view of Boise and beyond. This is also a special place for Nicole and Thomas (and Denise) because they have enjoyed participating in the LIMBitless challenge that allows the adaptive community to do the hike with an adaptive wheelchair and a team. We recommend parking at the Old Penitentiary. It is dog friendly, Harley recommends as well. (Free)

Old Idaho Penitentiary

2445 Old Penitentiary Road, Boise, ID 83712

, (208) 334-2844

The Idaho State Penitentiary opened its doors in 1872 to some of the West’s most desperate criminals. Today, visitors can experience over 100 years of Idaho’s unique prison history with a visit to Solitary Confinement, cell blocks, and the Gallows. (cost money)

Take a walk along the Boise River Greenbelt

Boise, ID 83706

The 25-mile Boise River Greenbelt is one of Boise's most beloved parks. The tree-lined pathway follows the river through the heart of the city and provides scenic views, wildlife habitat and pedestrian access to many of the city's popular riverside parks. We highly recommend stopping at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial along the way. (Free)

Freak Alley Gallery

210 N 9th St, Boise, 83702

Freak Alley is a “notable venue” for murals, graffiti and public art located in an alley in downtown Boise. It is said to be the largest outdoor gallery in the Northwest, and has been a Boise institution since 2002. It began with a painting of a single alley doorway and now extends from the alley itself to gravel parking lot. (Free)
