About Boise
Idaho's capital city (and third largest city in the Pacific Northwest) is in the high desert of southwestern Idaho, right on the Boise River. Offering a stellar quality of 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. Consistently high ranking on various top ten lists relating to safety, affordability, and work-life balance, it's easy to see why Boise is the place to be.
