Boise Mountains

The Boise Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in central Idaho, just north of the city of Boise. This range is characterized by steep, rocky terrain with dense forested slopes and alpine meadows. Geologically, the mountains are an extension of the Sawtooth Range, composed primarily of granite and metamorphic rock formations. Elevations range from around 3,000 feet in the foothills to over 9,000 feet at the highest peaks. The remote, wilderness character of the Boise Mountains offers a scenic and challenging outdoor experience for visitors.
