Foothills Dog Policy Working Group
Updates
A
working group reviewing policies
governing dog use on the popular
Ridge to Rivers trail system.
As temperatures climb, be sure that
you are adequately prepared for your
trail outing. Carry lots of water
and sun screen, as well as an
adequate supply of water for your
dog, as many streams have begun to
dry up. The best time to enjoy the
trails is in the early morning and
late evening, when temperatures are
more mild.
An excellent choice for an outing on
a hot summer day is to drive up to
Bogus Basin and check out some of
the new trails there. Deer Point
Trail #91, The Face Trail #93, Elk
Meadows #94 and Tempest #95 afford
exceptional views in all directions.
These are all non-motorized trails.

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
