Boise is the capital of Idaho. The Boise River Green Belt is a series of trails and parks dotted with trees that hug the water's edge. In an art deco building, the downtown Boise Museum of Art has contemporary works and an outdoor sculpture garden. The magnificent sandstone Idaho State Capitol Building is nearby.
Old Idaho Penitentiary contains 19th century cells and pitchforks, as well as historic military weaponry. The Boise Mountains are a mountain range in the U.S. state of Idaho, encompassing part of the Boise and Sawtooth National Forests. The highest point of the mountain range is Two Point Mountain, at an elevation of 10,124 feet (3,086 m) above sea level.
This Idaho location item is a safeguard. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. Geographically, the Boise Mountains are roughly defined by the Boise National Forest and contain 20 mountain lakes and more than 35 named peaks. The region is relatively warm and dry, slightly more humid than a typical desert mountain range.
Snowfall can be very intense in winter and summers are hot and dry. Wildfires are always a threat here, given the dry summer conditions, the level of 4WD usage, and the number of hunters visiting the region in the fall. Most of these plants are found in the Boise National Forest (which covers a substantial portion of the Boise Mountains). Within the Boise Mountains, the rocks are mostly part of the Atlanta Lobe, which covers most of the Boise National Forest.
To the north, the Boise Mountains border the Bitterroot Range, which stretches across north-central Idaho to the state's border with Montana. In fact, these peaks are considered the “Grand Slam” of the Boise Mountains, as they offer a good variety of hiking opportunities for people of various skill levels in the Greater Boise region. The Boise Mountains, which rise dramatically above Treasure Valley, are a collection of peaks in the central-western part of the U.S. state of Idaho.
The Boise Museum of Art is housed in a beautiful Art Deco building and houses an exhibition of contemporary works and an exquisite outdoor sculpture garden. The Idaho State Capitol Building, which is housed in an elegant sandstone building, is well worth a visit. Other tree species found within the Boise Mountains and the Boise National Forest include western larch, aspen and large fir.
