Things To Do in the Treasure Valley (Spring Summer)

As a new resident of the Treasure Valley you will want to take full advantage of all Boise and the surrounding areas have to offer. The Spring and Summer months are hot, fun and full of endless adventure! This time of the year is when Southwestern Idaho comes alive. When most people speak of the Treasure Valley, they’re referring to the area that encompasses the cities of Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Star, Kuna, Caldwell, and Middleton. We truly do live in a treasure valley. During the spring and summer months our beautiful area sparkles! To help you get fully acclimated to the area after your move, we’ve come up with a list of the best things to do in the Treasure Valley!

On a hot summer day you might catch your first glimpse of residents floating the river (more on that later).
