One of the largest cities in the Northwest, Boise serves as the political, economic and cultural center for the entire state of Idaho.
Here visitors can find a five-star hotel and a bustling nightlife, or
a quiet campground near the Boise River. The Morrison Center
is one of the premier performing arts auditoriums in the Northwest. Cultural activities go on year-round including the Annual
Shakespeare Festival, Art in the Park, the Boise Philharmonic
Orchestra and the Boise Opera Company.
Located along the Boise River and nestled against the foothills
of the Rocky Mountains, Boise offers many outdoor activities to
local residents, from skiing at Bogus Basin Ski Resort to biking
on the Boise River Greenbelt to boating at nearby reservoirs such
as Lucky Peak, Arrowrock, and Anderson Ranch. The Boise area
has it all - desert, rivers, mountains and lakes for hiking, camping, kayaking, river rafting, hunting and fishing. The "City of
Trees" boasts one of a kind museums and urban parks. Among
the many unique sites to visit are the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, Idaho
Black History Museum and the World Center for Birds of Prey.

Integrated in the Boise Metropolitan area, Eagle is one of the
