Boise National Forest
Located just a few miles Northeast of Boise, Idaho, the Boise National Forest is one of the largest and
oldest National Forests in the country. The Ponderosa pine forests and Sawtooth Mountains that make up the
region are home to diverse wildlife. Hunters come out for mule deer and Rocky Mountain elk. Fisherman enjoy
the local trout, as well as the salmon and steelhead that come up the Salmon River and its tributaries.
Hikers, mountain bikers and horsemen come for the scenic trails. Hot springs throughout the forest provide
a pleasant respite on cool days. |
