What a world we live in…. Idaho has long been recognized for world class everything outdoors. From hunting, fishing, paddling, skiing, climbing – everything! When travellers on thier way to these world class outdoor venues stop in Boise they don’t always see what we do. They typically get into a car and speed off to McCall and Sun Valley.
Here is a little of what they may not see – all of which sits within 25 minutes of the Northend.
Rock Climbing – from Stack Rock to Table Rock and up the Boise River Canyon above Diversion Dam. There are sheer cliff faces, technical climbing and free climbing opportunities for the best.
Fly Fishing – The Boise River from Barber to Eagle has many great spots for fishing of all kinds. Trout and other native species are thriving even in downtown Boise between Boise State University and Julia Davis Park.
Paddling – The Boise River is best know for the Barber Park to Ann Morrison Park stretch. Imagine uncrowded waters for flatwater canoeing or kayaking above Barber Dam or in Quinn’s Pond. Quinn’s Pond is a lake-sized body of water within 5 minutes of downtown. And within a 5 minute walk from Quinn’s pond there is the early season excitement of the 36th Street Wave shown on the right.
Mountain Biking – Camels Back Park is the center of the mountain biking for much of the Treasure Valley. The Ridges to Rivers system stretches for miles along the Boise Front. Of course it’s always nice to have Hyde Park waiting for a cool drink after a hard ride!
Road Cycling – Once the finishing stage of the Women’s Challenge, the Northend has long been the gathering place for cyclists who run out through the valley and back along winding roads like Hill Road that finishes, like the Women’s Challenge, in Hyde Park.
