Central Foothills
Boise, Idaho
Hike and Mountain Bike
From foothills to mountain tops, Idaho's wilderness offers some of the best hiking in the country. With over 19,000 miles of trails, hikers can find everything from paved recreational trails to remote wilderness paths with steep, rocky inclines. Idaho even has several trails that are nationally recognized including The Idaho Centennial Trail, which extends approximately 1,200 miles from Nevada through Idaho up to the Canadian border. In 1990, it was officially designated by the Idaho Parks and Recreation Board and became the first trail to be adopted into the State Recreational Trail System.
