With the amount of families (mine being one) that adventure play and explore Lucky Peak, there needs to be a better emergency system in place. Last Sunday a local 56 year old active Idahoan, Mark Bell was surfing at Lucky Peak. He suffered a heart attack and it took over and an hour and a half (1hr, 37 mins) for medical crews to arrive, at that point it was too late and he was gone.
One of the best things about life in the Treasure Valley is our proximity to great winter recreation. With amazing skiing just a short drive away, those resorts are working to attract younger skiers and boarders.
I took a walk along the Greenbelt today, and call me crazy, but I would be willing to skip this middle-ground season of Spring and move right to Summer. Let's get on the water.
If you or your family is like mine, one of the things you love about living in the Treasure Valley is the chance to float the Boise River. Now, we could get even more room to do it.
We have talked a lot about the end of the shortest official Boise River Float Season in history, but Ada County has announced they are very pleased with the results.
I moved to the Treasure Valley just over three years ago, and quickly discovered why so many people loved floating the river. It's beautiful, relaxing, and one of the best parts of Boise.
One of the best parts of calling the Treasure Valley home is our incredible recreation opportunities. Now, Lucky Peak could be getting even better with a trail expansion.
We've been sharing the warnings about the unusually high, fast, and cold water flow on the Boise River this year. Now a new question is arising. Will float season be cancelled?
