Boise Travel Tips

Experience northern Spanish culture in Boise's Basque district, on Grove Street between 6th and Capitol Avenue. It's the U.S.'s second-largest Basque community and is riddled with northern Spanish architecture and eateries.
Forget what you know about the gridiron and see a game on Boise State University's famed "Smurf Turf." The field of artificial grass is dyed bright blue to match the school colors.
Beat the heat by heading into cooler temperatures at high elevations. The city's northern location may make you think it stays cool all year, but temperatures in July and August regularly top 90 degrees with very little precipitation.
Keep your eyes peeled for once-endangered raptors like peregrine falcons and bald and golden eagles, all of which live around the Snake River. To learn more, visit the World Center for Birds of Prey on West Flying Hawk Lane.
