Biking or floating the Boise River Greenbelt is one of the city's signature experiences, and the path runs right through the heart of Boise. Foothill trails start at the edge of town, offering even more ways to get outside.

Boise is also Idaho's capital and largest city and the center of the Treasure Valley. It offers a walkable downtown with restaurants, shops and events, along with Boise State University and a growing job market that attract first-time buyers, families and retirees.
