CAMELS BACK HIKE
This hiking guide features a fun hike at Camel's Back Park in Boise, Idaho.
The hike is just over a mile long and is a great hike for children of all ages. With plenty of places to stop and play along the way, some steep stairs to climb up, and a playground to play at before or after your hike, this is a super kid-friendly, entertaining hike to do!
POLECAT GULCH HIKE
This hiking guide features a great hike at Polecat Gulch in Boise, Idaho. (starting at the Polecat-Collister trailhead)
The hike is 3 miles long with 550 feet of elevation gain, making it an intermediate hike. My kids have all done it at ages 8, 6 and 4 years old. With amazing views of the Treasure Valley and beyond, this is a beautiful hike for the whole family!
RIDGE TO RIDGE HIKE
This hiking guide features an amazing hike at the Fort Boise Military Reserve in Boise, ID. I named it the Ridge to Ridge hike, because it takes you up and along 2 ridgelines: Eagle Ridge and Central Ridge.
The hike is 3 miles long and about 500 feet of elevation gain, classifying it as intermediate. This hike is especially great for kids and all ages, because it gives you options! You can choose to do the entire hike or you have the option to shorten your loop if little hikers are feeling tired. Then you can come back another time to do the second half of the hike! There are also amazing views of downtown Boise and the surrounding mountains and foothills on this hike.
HULLS GULCH HIKE
This hiking guide features a great hike at the Lower Hulls Gulch area in Boise, Idaho.
The hike is 1.5 miles long with 175 feet of elevation gain, making it a good beginner hike. Along with the hike, there is a great nature area to explore by the Foothills Learning Center that is perfect for kids of all ages!
HAPPY ADVENTURING!
