WHY SHOULD ONE VISIT THE BEAUTIFUL CAPITAL CITY OF BOISE, IDAHO? The Scout Guide Boise & the Treasure Valley editor Allie Mann can name a few reasons. “People come for the outdoors and stay for the people,” she says. “Plus, there are so many options for outdoor experiences at whatever time of year you visit. Last but not least, we’re part big city and part wild west. You’re just as likely to pass someone on a bicycle or in a car as you are a horse or tractor. And our pioneer spirit still shows in the success of our many local business owners and artisans.”

Ready to plan your visit (or staycation)? Here, Allie shares her favorite local finds and activities for taking in her city.
