Wow, Boise is one well kept secret!
Walk 100 paces from the edge of town-- and you will bump into a rad trail system. It's not a solitary getaway and it's not swarming with people either-- but it is well appreciated.
While waiting around in the parking lot, I watched a man trot down off the hillside, across the street and into town. He likely started his run right from his front door.
Look one way to see downtown..

I stopped by the local mountain/bike shop to get a trail recommendation--
the woman we spoke with was so enthusiastic about Boise, she said,
"seriously, just move here."
I'd consider it.
