Quarantine Outdoor Scavenger Hunt

Get out in the fresh air and put your observation skills to the test
Need something to do while in quarantine? Embark on an outdoor scavenger hunt around your neighborhood. Challenge your friends, family members that are far away, or neighbors to do the same, and exchange photos! This is a great way to get out of the house and connect with those you care about, and do something with your time. 

 Below are a few clues you can use for your outdoor scavenger hunt. Get creative and come up with some of your own too! 

 1. A sign of spring
2. A sign of our Coronavirus times
3. A house or building feature that you like
4. Something that needs repair
5. Something that strikes you as humorous/ironic
Spending time outdoors will lift your spirits!

Backpacking in the Sawtooth Wilderness

Sawtooth Wilderness boundary Looking toward the far side of Farley Lake - the first campsite  This past weekend, I went backpacking on an iconic loop in the Sawtooth Mountains of central Idaho. The Sawtooths are beloved and renowned for their dramatic sharp, rocky peaks that resemble the teeth on a saw. I had only been to the Sawtooths once before (six years ago when I was working a seasonal position in McCall), so I was looking forward to exploring more.  I hiked the Toxaway Lake to Alice Lake Loop , and spent two nights in the backcountry. This was the perfect amount of time to spend backpacking, since it's been several years since I've hit the trail and done backcountry camping. My back and legs were achy and tired by the end of the weekend, but this trip itinerary allowed  The fire smoke that has been looming over Boise was present in Stanley (a small river town close to the Sawtooths) and the views of the mountains took on a dreamlike, mystical quality w...

Winter Weekend at Bogus Basin

Amazing view from the condo Bogus Basin is one of the many gems of Treasure Valley: close to Boise, affordable (it is a non-profit organization!), and offers many different options for winter recreation. Bogus is basically the go-to winter destination for close-to-home winter downhill and Nordic skiing, snow tubing, and snowshoe hiking.  Even though this winter recreation area is only about an hour's drive from Boise, it can also be a great location for a quick weekend winter getaway. Bogus Basin has a number of condos  for rent through Vacasa or VRBO. The Pioneer Condos are on top of the mountain close to Pioneer Lodge. These condos offer Wi-Fi, ski-in/ski-out location (you can see people skiing about 10 feet from the condo!), and luxurious hot tubs to relax after a long day of skiing.   Although Bogus Basin is primarily known for its incredible winter activities, the area boasts lots of mountain biking and hiking trails to be enjoyed in the warmer months. There a...
