The historic Basque block of Boise offers fantastic shopping, dining and cultural experiences unlike any other place in the country. Boise, Idaho and the Northwest have long been a draw for the Basque people immigrating to the US. I’m proud of the fact that my grandparents immigrated from Spain to Idaho on the 1920’s! Make sure to visit the Basque Museum, Basque Center, Market and Bar Gernika!

Best chorizos in the world! Full disclosure, the founder and owner is a cousin so I may be a little biased. So don’t just take my word, look up some reviews and you won’t be disappointed!

Short but tough! Many blind shots so helpful to play with a local if you can. Staff is fantastic and green fees are very reasonable. Suggest getting a cart due to the many hills. Beautiful views of downtown Boise and the Treasure Valley. This is personally my favorite course in the valley.

Falcon Crest presents one of the more challenging and picturesque courses in the valley. The 18th hole is probably the most difficult finishing hole, but it is sure rewarding if you can par it.

Zip Lines start from ground platforms and land on the ground and are much longer higher and faster. First up is the “Turkey 2000!” This is a 2030 foot long screamer that will leave your eyes watering and your adrenaline pumping. You’ll reach speeds of around 50 mph! Eyewear recommended. (I’m not kidding) Then it’s on to “Hang ‘em High” This zip is a side by side zip line that is a little over 1000 feet long. It will have you and a friend hanging out about 120 feet above the ground. Then it’s on to “Double Barrel” This is another side by side zip line about 1500 feet long. Double Barrel is cocked, locked, and loaded and will have you and a friend racing high above the valley below! There is very little walking on the tour. This is truly a world class zip line tour and we are sure it will be the adventure of a lifetime for you and your friends and family. Thanks for zipping with us!
