Boise isn’t a traditional spring break destination, which is precisely the appeal. Spring days are well spent biking or strolling along the 29-mile Boise River Greenbelt or hiking in the foothills just beyond downtown, while crowds—and prices—remain refreshingly low. The city is also an under-the-radar wine gateway, with easy access to the Snake River Valley AVA and a growing cluster of tasting rooms in neighboring Garden City. Back in Boise proper, don’t miss the Basque Block and Basque Museum or the ever-changing outdoor murals at Freak Alley Gallery. Finally, for an extra dose of festive energy, plan your visit around spring events like Treefort Music Fest or the Boise Flower & Garden Show.
