Boise is nice and dry, 3500' elevation, great fishing, we get about 11 inches of rain a year, we are in the Columbia Basin. Mountains surround us, with the Boise River running through town, Snake River south of town and the Columbia River west of us. Tourism is one of our main industries - white water rafting, fly fishing, and skiing.

What's to do here? Well, we have Boise State Broncos for football, basketball. We have hockey - Steelheads. We have Basketball, indoor football. We also have minor league baseball, farm league for the Cubs.

We even have Opera, Broadway plays, and College Football - Boise State Broncos.
