Located in the Treasure Valley against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boise is the largest metropolitan area in Idaho. Situated where the high desert meets the western edge of the Rocky Mountains, Boise is a gateway to outstanding recreational opportunities. Boise offers easy access to world famous white-water rafting, Nordic and Alpine skiing, snowboarding, hunting, fishing, backpacking and camping. Southwest Idaho invites the Boise visitor to enjoy nearby mountains, desert sand dunes, canyons and whitewater rafting rivers.
