Bogus
Basin ski resort is just a 45-minute
drive from town and offers wonderful opportunities for down-hill
and cross-country skiing, snow-boarding, snow-shoeing, and
snow-tubing. Night-skiing
on floodlit runs is available until 10:00 p.m.
Boise State University is located along the Boise River and
the Greenbelt, a walking and bicycling path that runs for 25
miles though town (click
here for Greenbelt map). The Foothills provide extensive
hiking opportunities using the
Ridge to Rivers trails system.
Check out the birds, fish, and other animals that call the Boise River
home at the
M-K Nature Center. It is a 20-minute walk from the Boise State
campus and open year-round.
