11 days in Boise Itinerary

From its main thoroughfare, Boise greets visitors with a view of downtown framed by the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Explore Boise's surroundings by going to Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge (in Nampa), Dedication Point (in Kuna) and Sawtooth Wilderness Area (in Ketchum). There's still lots to do: admire the natural beauty at Idaho Botanical Garden, take in the pleasant sights at Freak Alley Gallery, stroll through World Center For Birds of Prey, and contemplate the long history of Old Idaho Penitentiary.
