Events | |
| St Luke's Women's Fitness Celebration | If you're wondering what all the road closures and lack of parking are about, one of the largest women's run/walks in the USA is taking place right next door. The starting line is about 2 blocks to the north and they will be running down Capital Blvd, right in front of the Grove Hotel. Thousands of women and girls will be participating in this celebration of women's fitness. |
| Gunfighter Skies, MHAFB | If you are going to be in the area the weekend before the Feis, you can go to a great airshow at Mountain Home Airforce Base. Free admission, and The Thunderbirds are scheduled to be there on Sunday the 14th. |
Old West and Ghost Towns | |
| Idaho Territorial Prison | This old west prison would look right at home in the middle ages and was in operation until 1973! |
| Old Fort Boise Replica | Located in Parma near the site of the original Fort Boise, this replica gives a feel for what an old west fort was really like. |
| Idaho City | A short drive up State Highway 21 is Idaho City. It is believed that more gold came out of this region than the entire state of Alaska. |
| Silver City |
A bit harder to get to than Idaho City, but amazingly, it neither burned down,
went away, or changed very much from the way it was a hundred years ago.
If you love old west ghost towns, a trip to Silver City is well worth the effort.
(Road conditions vary). |
