I lived in Boise on and off for a total of ten years, and I still go back at least once a year to visit relatives here. Boise is right between the mountains on one side and the desert on the other. It’s a small capital city, rather lacking in diversity, of about 180,000 people. You can always tell who’s from here and who’s not by how they pronounce Boise: outsiders say Boy-zee, while those in the know say Boy-see. |
|  | Boise, like all of Idaho, is a great place to be for outdoor activities and recreation. Hiking, skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, and fishing places are all close by. The climate is very dry – about the opposite of where I live now (Seattle)!
Some of my photos here were taken mainly to have pictures of friends, rather than to document the place, but they’ll have to do. I decided to build this page anyway, since Boise is somewhat underrepresented on VT.
This picture was taken along the Snake River Canyon about an hour outside of Boise. |

Hi, Your Boise pages bring back lots of memories for me. I lived in Nampa for about 10 years and also now live in Seattle. I love the Brick Oven Beanery! | 807Wheaton Fri Dec 30, 2005 02:57 UTC
Enjoyed your page - I was wondering about the Basque influence in Boise. Greetings from Augusta, Georgia. | bugalugs Tue Jul 12, 2005 17:27 UTC
I first heard the name Boise in a film years and years ago (I think it was with Doris Day!) then I saw it on a map the other day, so thanks for telling me something about it. I probably say 'Boyzee' :-) |
