Boise is a city best explored outdoors, and we know it well — we work among its parks, greenbelts and heritage trees every week. This is our local guide to the places worth your time, from the springs and swimming holes to the hilltop views and downtown landmarks. Each entry covers what to expect, the best time to go, and how to get there from our base in the city. Use it to map out a day in Boise, and if you spot a tree that needs attention while you're exploring, you know who to call.
