In the spirit of Lewis and Clark, Ponce de Leon (fountain of youth, why or why couldn't he have found that!), and Daniel Boone, we got our poor, confused, disoriented selves out of the apartment and into the world of Boise!
First, the Lucky Peak Dam Rooster Tail. It's job is to control the water flow from Lucky Peak Lake into the Boise river. It is an impressive site.
Due to the amount of runoff expected from this year's unusual amount of snow, more water has been released into the Boise river, to make room for that runoff into the reservoir. This has caused flooding of the Boise river, as a result, tubing activities downstream are delayed. Oh no!
I will get pics later of the Lucky Peak State Park beach, which looks really nice, when I go up there on a "toasty" day (as they say here), for a swim.
On to our first Boise hike. Camelback Park.
This is MUCH steeper than it looks. I'd wished we'd brought a defibrillator.
Downtown Boise from the top of the trail. There are distant mountains to the right, which are not visible here.
