Boise - North End

The heart of historic area on the northern side of the city is Harrison Boulevard—a four-lane boulevard with a tree-lined center island surrounded by an eclectic mix of homes reminiscent of the City Beautiful movement popular at the turn of the 20th century. Stately homes of various architectural styles run the length of the boulevard, which continues north past Hill Road as Bogus Basin Road approximately 15 miles to Bogus Basin Mountain Resort—Boise’s local ski resort. Homeowners along Harrison Boulevard are known for their lavish Halloween and Christmas holiday decorations that draw visitors from around the region.

Boise’s North End includes historic Hyde Park, with its fashionable restaurants and boutiques nestled against the foothills amid quaint neighborhoods, all within easy walking distance of the city’s center. Camel’s Back Park is a key community feature. Dog and child friendly, the park is a gateway to many popular hiking-biking trails along the foothills that span the northern edge of the city.
