Quality Time

Mountain Bikers at the 8th Street High Loop, located at the Hulls Gulch Reserve in Boise, will have to dig deep to master this trail. The recreational trail's long upper foothills just northeast of downtown demand skill, nerve and conditioning. Complete this ride, and you've earned the right to call yourself a mountain biker.

Knit yourself one insane time on Boise's nightlife scene out at The Knitting Factory. The Knit is said to be the music venue locals love to hate. One thing's for sure; the featured performers are top ticket talents like Bush, Lindsey Buckingham, Blindside, and Need to Breathe. The Knit guys know how to promote bands at both The Knit Factory Concert House and The Egyptian House.

Have a blooming good time exploring nature's most colorful attractions at the Idaho Botanical Garden. Meander through a colorful and fragrant living museum that's in bloom with an Herb Garden, Foothills Native Plant Garden, Children's Adventure Garden, Carnivorous Plant Collection, Mediterranean Garden, Summer Succulent Garden and more never-ending blooms than you can imagine.
