Introducing Boise

Boise is positively buzzing these days. Not only is it Idaho’s largest city and capital, it’s also young, hip and fun. With an outdoors slant and hassle-free vibe, this city where the desert meets the mountains is more than a gateway to Idaho’s wilder climes – it holds its own as a destination. Much of its late-19th-century architecture remains, cafés and restaurants stay open late, and crowds from nightspots spill onto the streets on hot summer nights. Locals consider Boise a gay-friendly city, and it has an active gay and lesbian community. And in recent years more than a few magazines have named it as one of America’s top places to live.
