    Good work out hike with a nice steep walk to top with a wonderful view of Boise. September and October you can see the most colorful tree line.

    Really neat park! There is a beach volleyball set up, tennis courts, playground, huge grassy area, and it’s dog friendly. There were tons of people out playing soccer, badminton, and just enjoying a warm summer night 😊 To get to the top of the hill for the view: we took the steep climb up to the top. Part of the walk is super sandy with loose rocks, so ideally bring shoes with good traction - the walk down felt harder! If you stick to the side, it’s more rocky and less sand which was much easier to walk through. Then there is a huge section of steep steps, with a handrail. There are other trails if you wanted to take a less steep route with some baby switchbacks. Lots of mountain biking happening! Would recommend for a host of activities. Really cute neighborhood surrounding the park, and Hyde Park is nearby for food & drinks & shopping.

    Absolutely gorgeous overlook above Boise! You can see very far, from the lush green valley to prairies and mountains near by. It's a steep hill but totally worth it! Good parking a well.

    Loved this area! The trails are well maintained and it's a very good site for birdwatching! Saw a Cooper's hawk, some red winged blackbirds, some house finches, some robins and some chickadees.

    Great trails branch from this park. It's a trailhead for several different trails, some going up some pretty steep hills. Views are great, o e of my favorite municipal parks in the country.

    Lovely park offers a multitude of a trails for hiking and biking! Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for owls, snakes and other animals. Lots of people on those trails.

    Camel's Back is a nice urban park located ~1/2 miles from downtown, in the Boise foothills. The park is nestled in the low rolling hills at the foot of the range and offers trails for hiking and biking, and at moderate difficulty levels - no ice axes necessary! Happy trails!

    Beautiful park with a wonderful backdrop of the hill. Great place for kids to play and for adults to hang out and enjoy the outdoors.
