Abutting the western foothills of the soaring Rocky Mountains, Boise is renowned for its high quality of life and abundant natural resources. Bike paths intertwine with its vehicular roads, while hiking trails line the banks of the gorgeous Boise River. The city is a great town for walking, especially during the many cultural events that take place from spring through late summer. The summertime Idaho Shakespeare Festival is one of the nation's most popular outdoor theater spectacles, while the annual Gene Harris Jazz Festival in spring brings musicians in from around the world. Laid back and rugged, yet distinctly cosmopolitan, Boise has a little something for everyone.
