10 EASY Summer Hikes in the Boise Area with Amazing Views

So, we’re in the midst of Summer and whew is it freakin’ hot or what?! While I’m about to show you some awesome hikes in the Boise area, I’d like to first issue a friendly reminder to stay hydrated and safe.

This has been an absolutely beautiful, and unusually hot Summer for Boise, and I hope y’all are able to take advantage of the long and sunny days — get outside and enjoy the great Idaho outdoors!

More and more Idahoans are getting outside and enjoying the limitless things to do in this beautiful state, and I’ve heard in many of my own recent conversations that people are actively looking for some really great hiking trails that aren’t difficult and are especially good for dogs.

So, I’ve been searching away, and I made this list of trails that I will indeed be checking out soon myself. Personally, I’ve never been to any of these trails, but I’m really excited to go check em’ out with my pups!

I can’t think of a better way to spend a warmer day in Idaho than by enjoying some easy hikes and much-needed outside time with my dogs, and of course, taking in the views.
