Offering a stellar quality life, Boise also features a vibrant and urban downtown, cultural and culinary experiences, and a wealth of entertainment options. Boasting over 200 days of sunny weather each year, recreational opportunities abound - most notably the 25 mile-long Boise River Greenbelt, which links together a series of beautiful public parks and the Boise Foothills, which offers an interconnected network of roads and trails through the hills.
