Calling Adventurers of All Ages to Southwest Idaho

(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 24, 2011 ) BOISE, Idaho- Southwest Idaho is for the adventurous- no doubt about it. Adrenaline junkies, adventurous families, and lovers of the outdoors will find plenty to pique their interest from the endless miles of bike paths and mountain trails to rushing whitewater and multitude of state parks. In the summer, area ski resorts open their lifts to mountain bikers while the melting snow creates ideal whitewater playgrounds in the rivers and canyons below. State parks offer a little bit of everything; thereÂ’s stargazing and sand dunes to ski at Bruneau Dunes and Observatory, camping camping and hiking at Ponderosa, and water slides and swimming at Eagle Island. Just outside Boise, Zip Idaho has the stateÂ’s longest zip lines and the Thunder Mountain Line takes travelers on themed rides through stunning Idaho vistas. There are also hot air balloon rides, jet boat tours, fly fishing trips, and wild birds of prey to pass the time.

Urban adventures, from riverfront theater to floating through downtown, await in centrally-located Boise. Even the daring foodie can embark on new culinary explorations. One itinerary begins with a self-guided farm-to-market tour followed by a tasting trip through the areaÂ’s many wineries and dinner at Red Feather Lounge, one of many restaurants promoting the use of local ingredients.
