Not many think of Boise, Idaho, as an outdoors destination, but the locals have known differently for a long time. Winter comes early in Idaho, and places like Bogus Basin have become major ski attractions. The local rivers and reservoirs are home to tubing, water skiing and cliff diving. The city sits right next to the Boise National Forest, making it a great base for all sorts of outdoor adventure, winter or summer.
