HUNTING
Idaho offers a wide variety of game species for hunters
to pursue, from common upland game birds and small
game to larger mammals and even the highly prized
trophies. Almost two-thirds of the state of Idaho is made
up of public land, so there are plenty of places to go
hunting. Idaho is a hunter’s paradise, with countless
options for pursuing large game. Idaho is home to some
of the best elk hunting in the world and the best variety
of big game hunting in the West. Deer, elk, black bear,
pronghorn, mountain lion, and wolf can all be hunted
with a general season tag or in regulated hunts. Trophy
animals like moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain
goats are all available through managed hunts in Idaho.
Hunters, if they’re fortunate enough to win the permits,
can only ever have one of each trophy species.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
The best mountain-biking
experiences aren’t far away, and
they don’t require you to travel very
far at all. Take your mountain bike
with you on your weekend travels,
no matter where you may be
going. The whole state is one huge
trail system for mountain bikers.
In and around Boise, you’ll 昀椀nd a
wide variety of hiking trails to suit
your needs in terms of dif昀椀culty,
distance, and overall experience.
All tracks share the feature of
compacted dirt, which makes for
easy and quick riding. The majority
of the shorter trails are located in
the open foothills, while the longer
rides feature a variety of trees in
the upper region that open up
to brief stretches with expansive
valley views. Mountain bikers of all
experience levels will 昀椀nd plenty of
fun on Idaho’s trails.
