(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 21, 2010 ) BOISE, Idaho—Though it offers the culture and entertainment of a large urban area, Boise still feels like your hometown. With a reputation as an urban-outdoor nirvana, within-city-limits recreation and world-class arts abound. Summer attracts kayakers to the Payette River, mountain bikers to the Rocky Mountain foothills, rock climbers to the red rock pitches, and runners to the 25-mile Greenbelt. During the winter, just a short drive from downtown, visitors can hit the slopes at Bogus Basin Ski Resort. The city also boasts a cultural side: a philharmonic orchestra, opera, ballet, theater companies, the Gene Harris Jazz Fest, and a renowned Shakespeare festival that features outdoor performances. Museums are plentiful (like the country’s only Basque Museum and the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial) and sports fans can cheer on the city’s pro athletic teams. Boise offers fine restaurants with a wide variety of ethnic cuisines in both casual and elegant settings—everything from coffee houses and brew pubs to diners and four-star establishments. Downtown Boise is alive with events, entertainment, upscale accommodations, and a variety of unique shopping destinations with the great outdoors only minutes away.
