 BOISE: WORTH A TRIP Located along the river where the desert meets the Rocky Mountains, Boise is one of America's most livable and likable cities, offering the culture and entertainment of a large urban area in a place that feels a little like everyone's hometown. BOISE HOTELS Boise is proud of its philharmonic orchestra, opera, ballet and theater companies and summer Shakespeare festival that features outdoor performances along the Boise River. The Gene Harris Jazz Festival and Art in the Park continue to be favorites among both locals and visitors. Museums are plentiful and include the World Center for Birds of Prey, M.K. Nature Center and River Observatory, the Old Idaho Penitentiary – one of only four remaining territorial penitentiaries, the Discovery Center of Idaho, Idaho Historical Museum, Idaho Black History Museum, the Boise Art Museum, Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial and the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame. Culture and entertainment mix nicely with the abundant outdoor recreation. Summer brings plenty of sunshine when a bike ride or a walk along the 25-mile Greenbelt, or a round of golf at one of the area's 12 beautiful courses can easily follow a day's work. For those who like a bit more adventure, try mountain biking in Boise's foothills, floating the Boise River on an inflatable raft or tube, or whitewater rafting on the Payette River, just 45 minutes north of the city. In the winter, enjoy nordic skiing at Bogus Basin Ski Resort or spend a day – or night – skiing or snowboarding the resort's groomed downhill trails. Boise's indoor ice-skating rink is open year-round. Sports fans can enjoy Boise's professional athletic teams, including the Idaho Steelheads WCHL hockey, Boise Hawks baseball and the Idaho Stampede CBA basketball. Les Bois Park features both thoroughbred and quarterhorse racing and simulcast racing and betting during the off-season. Boise has many fine restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisine in both casual and elegant settings – everything from coffee houses to brew pubs. Boise Towne Square Mall, Boise Factory Outlet Mall, boutiques, galleries and antique stores will tempt the savvy shopper. Downtown Boise is alive with events, entertainment and a variety of dining and unique shopping options.
