City advice
Getting around
Walk and bike
Boise's North End is the perfect spot to walk and bike to many local favorites. Take in the beautiful tree-lined streets and renovated turn-of-the-century homes on your way to Hyde Park or downtown Boise. Many local bike shops rent town bikes, road bikes and mountain bikes.
Book before you go
