If you are floating the Boise River this is the spot to launch your rafts. There are air hoses conveniently located by the launch spot and there is an outfitter with raft/tube rentals available as well. A snack shack with drinks, shaved ice and food is usually open during daylight ours as well. You park at Barber and then float down the river to the Ann Morrison where the shuttle can bring you back to your car. There is also a series of trails, both paved (bicycles, strollers) and dirt for exploring the park. Dock on the river and watch the floaters coming down. Floating the river in a local summer favorite!

The Basque Block is one of Idaho’s unique cultural blocks of a living ethnic neighborhood- Basque. It is comprised of two boarding houses -­ the Cyrus Jacobs-Uberruaga house, and the Anduiza. The block has its unique indoor frontón court, the Basque Center, the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, Bar Gernika, Leku Ona restaurant, and the Basque Market. The cultural food is one of the main attractions here. There is Basque History Mural completed by Noel Weber and The Letterheads in 2000, located on the Basque Block off of Capitol Blvd. One of the original Letterhead Members, Bill Hueg, hand painted a reproduction of the work which was translated into this new digital version displayed on the west-facing wall of the 104-year-old Anduiza Fronton building. The Museum Hours are Tuesday – Friday: 10am to 5pm and Saturday: 11am to 4pm. It is closed on Sunday, Monday, and Holidays. If you are in Boise or visiting Boise and you are a history geek, I would say definitely check out this place and also try the food here to taste a different ethnic food.

Beautiful all times of the year! About an hour and 40 minutes from Boise.
A cute historic city, with bars, restaurants, museums and old toy stores. It's really interesting to walk around the streets. If you are planning a day trip from Boise, you could do Idaho City and Kirkham Hot Springs in the same trip.

A great hike to Jump Creek Falls. It is a short hike so very achievable if you have little people with you. You can swim in the falls in summer time.
