Foothills Dog Policy Working Group
Updates
A
working group reviewing policies
governing dog use on the popular
Ridge to Rivers trail system.
As
summer heat dries out the hills, it
is very apparent that
many trails are getting widened
as a result of individuals walking
side by side, rather than in
single-file, as well as by riders
and walkers/runners going off trail
when passing others, rather than
stopping and allowing the other user
to pass by. 
Please help us preserve our
singletrack by practicing good trail
etiquette:
Riders: Yield to all other users
whenever possible.
Downhill riders yield to uphill riders.
Yield by stopping and putting a foot down.
Slow down and announce your presence when approaching from behind.
Walkers and Runners: Travel in
single-file, on the established
trail tread.
Stop, and step off the trail to let riders approaching from behind pass
you.
Remember to bring sun screen and
plenty of water on your trail
outing. A good idea is to get out
early, before the day really heats
up.

The Boise Foothills rise above
Idaho's Capitol and largest city,
providing a postcard backdrop that
inspires and soothes the soul. An
interconnected network of roads and
trails courses through these hills,
linking not only neighborhoods with
public lands but also connecting
people with the natural environment.
With over 125 miles of trail, there
is something for everyone. Here we
provide ideas and tips about where
to go, how to enjoy the Foothills
without hurting them, and
information about the area you may
find interesting. As you explore,
notice the diversity in the land,
the plants and the animals, then
imagine our community without this
unique treasure. You can help
protect and care for this special
place by learning more about the
land and its needs.
Interested individuals can
contribute funding to the Ridge to
Rivers program by contacting Boise
Parks and Recreation's Accounting
office at 384-4240. All donations
are tax deductible, and will be used
specifically for Ridge to Rivers
trail related projects. Specific
information regarding this process
can be obtained at the following
