OFF-ROADING / SNOWMOBILING
Off-roading in Idaho is a thrill for any rider, whether on skis or wheels. The Boise Foothills
and Boise Ridge provide off-road enthusiasts with a great place to explore within the city
limits of Boise. Downhill travel in these regions is not for the faint of heart. You can easily
get lost when exploring just minutes from your trailhead. It’s possible to have a great
time in the area because it has hundreds of miles of dirt roads and trails ranging from
easy to dif昀椀cult. Skis and snowmobiles are common winter accessories, as snowmobiling
is a popular pastime in this region. The backcountry of Idaho becomes a snowmobiler’s
paradise every winter, complete with groomed trails and miles upon miles of untouched
snow in the midst of breathtaking vistas.
WHITEWATER RAFTING
In the height of summer, Boise’s temperature reaches the sweet spot
that makes the Payette River ideal for whitewater kayaking and rafting
excursions of any length. The North and South Forks of the Payette
River feature heart-pounding class IV and V rapids, while “The Main,”
as it is known locally, offers varying levels of challenging whitewater up
to class III rapids. The river is a fantastic place to have fun and unwind.
Outside of Stanley, Idaho, the Middle Fork of the Salmon River is a Class
IV whitewater rafting destination. Indeed, whitewater in Idaho is the
pinnacle of river sports.
