4K City Walks: Boise, Idaho virtual treadmill walking tour
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- We visited Boise Idaho for our latest 4K virtual treadmill walking tour. We start out in the hotel district and walk up towards the capitol building, into a nearby residential area with large houses, and then back through the restaurant district.
Boise is a bustling hip city with lots of places to stay, hotels, motels and AirBnBs. There are lots of great restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops. There are bird and Lime scooters all over the place.
We had a great time in this modern vibrant city.

Joan Gallardo from Velencia put this map of the walk together with some key places an moments. Thanks Joan! www.google.com...
Here are some facts from Wikipedia:
Boise is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Idaho, and is the county seat of Ada County. Located on the Boise River in southwestern Idaho, the population of Boise at the 2010 Census was 205,671, the 99th largest in the United States. Its estimated population in 2016 was 223,154.[5]

Downtown Boise in the fall of 2013
The Boise-Nampa metropolitan area, also known as the Treasure Valley, includes five counties with a combined population of 709,845, the most populous metropolitan area in Idaho. It contains the state's three largest cities; Boise, Nampa, and Meridian. Boise is the 80th most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States
Accounts differ regarding the origin of the name. One account credits Capt. B.L.E. Bonneville of the U.S. Army as its source. After trekking for weeks through dry and rough terrain, his exploration party reached an overlook with a view of the Boise River Valley. The place where they stood is called Bonneville Point, located on the Oregon Trail east of the city. According to the story, a French-speaking guide, overwhelmed by the sight of the verdant river, yelled "Les bois! Les bois!" ("The woods! The woods!")-and the name stuck.
The name may instead derive from earlier mountain men, who named the river that flows through it. In the 1820s, French Canadian fur trappersset trap lines in the vicinity. Set in a high-desert area, the tree-lined valley of the Boise River became a distinct landmark, an oasis dominated by cottonwood trees. They called this "La rivière boisée", which means "the wooded river."

Main Street in 1911
The area was called Boise long before the establishment of Fort Boise by the federal government. The original Fort Boise was 40 miles (64 km) west, near Parma, down the Boise River near its confluence with the Snake River at the Oregon border. This private sector defense was erected by the Hudson's Bay Company in the 1830s. It was abandoned in the 1850s, but massacres along the Oregon Trail prompted the U.S. Army to re-establish a fort in the area in 1863 during the U.S. Civil War.
The new location was selected because it was near the intersection of the Oregon Trail with a major road connecting the Boise Basin (Idaho City) and the Owyhee (Silver City) mining areas, both of which were booming. During the mid-1860s, Idaho City was the largest city in the Northwest, and as a staging area, Fort Boise grew rapidly; Boise was incorporated as a city 156 years ago in 1863. The first capital of the Idaho Territory was Lewiston in north central Idaho, which in 1863 was the largest community, exceeding the populations of Olympia and Seattle, Washington Territory and Portland, Oregon combined. The original territory was larger than Texas. But following the creation of Montana Territory, Boise was made the territorial capital of a much reduced Idaho in a controversial decision which overturned a district court ruling by a one-vote majority in the territorial supreme court along geographic lines in 1866.

We lived there 29 years. Will be moving back soon. One of the best places on earth. But don't tell anybody--it's getting crowded and expensive!
Chris Brown haha. I think the entire west is like that. It’s a great town though. Thanks for watching and the comment. 👍🏻 -H
@@CityWalks Well, I've lived in Seattle, Yakima, Spokane, Pullman and parts in between. None compare to Boise. Somewhere near Bend, Oregon might be my retirement place if Boise gets too expensive. ...
@@ChrisBrown-vc7ty Yeah, it looks like it's growing fast. We live near Bozeman, MT (over in Livingston) and it is exploding and way too expensive for us. I've heard awesome things about Bend though. -Henry
yeah bend is ruined, not the cool town it used to be. @@ChrisBrown-vc7ty
Chris Brown it is
One of the kindest cities I've ever visited. Wish I bought a small home there a few years ago...
Yeah. It's a great place. Thanks for the comment. -H
Born and raised in Boise. Haven't been back for years. Loved all the big old houses. good job
Cool town. Lots of things to do there. Apparently it’s grown very rapidly. -H
Please do more walk like this, I mean during twilight when the sky is neither bright or dark. The lights from the street lamps, diners, shops, etc look really great under twilight.
Yes, indeed, the first 7 minutes is amazing. Those lights really do look good under twilight.
👍🤗😁
Love Boise! My son lives there and is a chef in one of those awesome restaurants.
Very cool. I’d love to get back there soon and try some more of them. -Henry
I just treadmilled for the entire length of this video. I actually live just outside of Boise but have never really walked around town before, so this was interesting!
So cool. Thanks for the comment - 👍 - Henry
Thank you! You gave us an opportunity to see where our daughter Kylie and grandchildren live! This walk enables us to connect with their world even though we are thousands of kilometres away! God willing we will walk with them one day. Precious!
So glad it brought you some happiness and comfort. Thanks so much for letting me know with this great comment. I hope you get to visit someday. - Henry
Half way through this walk down memory lane. Remembering earlier years in beautiful Boise.
Wonderful. Hopefully it's bringing back some good memories. -H
@@CityWalks Yes it is😊
Walking tour allows one to grasp a lot more. I watched the whole clip and felt it gave a comprehensive idea of Boise.
Hi William, Thanks so much and I'm glad you found it helpful. -H
Thank you so much for this tour. I have a friend who lives in Boise named June. She will be shocked that hubby and I toured her city tonite. Got out of breath walking with you. Looong walk. Great tour!
Hahah. That's great. Thanks for letting me know. I love getting comments like this. All the best, -Henry
Great video, thank you! I watched every second of it and thoroughly enjoyed it!! I recently lived here for over 10 years, and truly miss the Boise area. Your video helped me relive many places and neighborhoods that I frequently went to, and things that I did and enjoyed. Can't wait to watch more of your videos... this was my first one. Thanks again... wonderful job filming!! 👏💕🌳👍🏻🌳🌲🌳💙💕😊🏡💖
Beth Hanson glad you enjoyed it. I was surprised how awesome Boise was. Mainly because I didn’t know too much about it. I’d love to go back and spend some more time there. Thanks for the comment and for watching -Henry
I love Boise so much! I wonder someday i can live here (sorry for my bad English)
No worries. Glad you enjoyed the film. I hope you get to go some day soon. Thanks for the comment - Henry
Nice video to explore Boise. Greetings from India 🎉
Glad you liked it! and thanks for the comment -H
New Subscriber from South Korea🤗♥️🇰🇷🇺🇸 In here,NY CA states are famous, but I really like watch non-famous states (to Koreans) like Idaho,Montana and so on by your channel. Thanks and support from S.Korea 👏👍🏻♥️
Thanks so much for watching and welcome. Glad you are enjoying the lesser known states. -H
@@CityWalks Ofcourse. Thanks for kind answer and Happy 2022 🤗👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️
Amazing walk, Henry. Always so great to see a city that I've never been before. Thank you! Continuing my journey deep into your channel. It's pretty awesome!
Thanks so much. Yes, I was very impressed with Boise. -Henry
I love this silence . It is like many American cities are quiet and of few people. It is awesome.
Thanks Timothy, it's actually grown incredibly over the last 10 years. -H
Love Boise! I go there every year. Can't wait to leave D.C. and move there. Nice video!!!
I was really impressed with the city. They have a ton going on there and lots of contemporary hip restaurants and breweries. I used to live in Arlington for a few years until I was able to move out west again.
Maybe living in D.C. felt different, but we spent a few days in D.C. and loved it. Liked the parks and bike lanes. It had amenities, but didn't feel overcrowded like NYC and Boston. Plus we found the smaller Virginia towns nearby charming. Lot's of places to explore within a 4 hours radius.
I moved here 4 years ago...best decision of my life. Love love love Boise.
Absolutely love this video. Such a well video of walking downtown boise!
So glad you enjoyed it. Boise is a very cool city. But judging by your channel name, I’m guessing you already knew that😀 - Henry
First of all thank you for taking me with you! I watched the whole "show" and got rewarded with the Freak Alley Gallery and N 8th St at the end of the walk. It brought back nice memories. Maybe you could point out more at things (buildings, churches) you see.
Great suggestion and glad you enjoyed the vid. I would like to but I often have very little time, and therefore little knowledge. I should try to do a bit more research but for now, this is mainly a hobby. Thanks! -Henry
I’ve watched quite a few of your city walks and just found this one tonight. I live in Caldwell, just west of Boise now, but lived in Boise about 30 years ago and really haven’t ventured around Boise since. It’s a beautiful city, but just too many people now. This whole area within 30 miles of Boise has grown so much. I used to work at Global Travel, which you passed early in the walk. Thank you for the walks, I really enjoy them! Watched your walk in Dillon, Montana as well a few months back, I lived there when I was a kid……brings back such fond memories.
Hi Denise, I know how you feel a bit. I used to live in Bozeman and it has changed SO much. Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying the vids. -H
I really enjoyed this walking tour.
I made it all the way to the end of the video. 👍
Well done and thanks so much for watching and commenting. I love hearing from viewers and getting feedback. -H
Great video! I don’t know how much more difficult it would be for you to do another walk-through during a time when everybody is out and about. Early in the morning Boise looks like a ghost town and it’s hard to get a sense of how life would be there. Once again I really enjoyed this content!
Very true! Harder to do now during quarantine. I'd love to go back and do a nighttime walk. -H
Thanks for another great walk Henry, especially love visiting places with you that we may never get to film ourselves. It's all so different from Europe. I love that poster at 8:43 and the street art at 58:36.
Love following along with your walks as well. The advertising on brick walls is kind of a thing out here in small town West. I like it too. The alleyway is very cool. There's a similar place in Billings, MT. Thanks for the comment and for following along. -Henry
Boise looks good compared to Baltimore
Baltimore is a cool town, but yes, very different. -H
Wow how could you compare? Im from Baltimore area and its a slum, trash filled city thats full of drugs and VERY dangerous, lots of areas that humans should not visit outside of an armored tank.
No shit
Boise is leagues better than Baltimore
@@offroad5798 but it looks different i was saying
Our family just today decided we're moving back to the Boise area. So this video was really nice to watch -- a lot of happy, familiar sights. Thanks for making it! Watched it all the way through.
So glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. Best of luck with the move. - H
Very good video, I really like the average cities in the USA. Boise must be very nice, maybe few people to interact with. I feel like living there.
Thanks so much for commenting. The downtown actually gets pretty busy in the evenings - Henry
Actually it is a very busy city, but this is early morning in the dead of winter.
very beautiful city, great work
As always, thanks for your kind words and support.
City Walks you’re most welcome 🤝🤝
Awesome walk in this beautiful city , great video , like it a ton 👍🥰
Hi Gabriela, so glad you enjoyed it. -H
I live in NY I want to move there nice and quiet and peaceful.
Thank you showing us nice video.
It would be a big difference but a good one. Especially if you like the outdoors. -Henry
I just discovered your channel and I especially love not walks and I love lights I have autism and this is very soothing for me.
So glad it's helpful. All the best. -H
So nice
Watching from Malaysia😁
Thanks so much and glad to have you. All the best - Henry
We had to move recently and this made me a bit homesick (but in a good way). Go back during April/May - the temps will be much nicer and things won't look quite so bleak because all the trees will have leaves on them. :) Thanks for the great videos!
Glad I could be of service. 😀We'd love to get back at that time of year and we'd love to get there for the Basque festival. -Henry
Trying to get over COVID and yes I watch them all away through
Hope you recover soon. Glad you are enjoying them. -H
That's a beautiful town, Just great I find your video, This is my next city that I want visit during my next trip. Thank you to show me
So glad you enjoyed it.
I watched til the end. Great video, thanks so much! I had a dream I was looking at a map and it zoomed in to Boise so I've been trying to figure out why ever since (a few days ago). Loved freak alley and the color drench in there.
That is awesome! Thanks -H
wow its really developing thats awesome
👍👋😀
I was watching till the end. I love these videos. Keep them coming.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy hearing that. It's a great compliment. I'm trying to find some time to travel and get some more cities. Maybe later in March April. -H
City Walks , looking forward to it. Thank you for taking the time!
My first impression is that Boise is very nice. My second impression is that off of the main street I felt the presence of the EU when I saw the rent-a-bikes and even later when I saw the scooters. I expect electric street cars soon. I waited a little to comment and when the walk was over there were a couple of TH-cam videos from Boise realtors, one of which was marketing those large older homes we passed. I went to the realtor place I always go to look at homes and they only had one, on Harrison, and it was 1.6 Million. I liked the one house that had a nice umbrella table in front which seemed a little like those places in Europe where people sit outside. Why not your own front yard? Lots to take in. I noticed a few of those posts had been installed, like those in France. Thanks!
👍 Thanks so much for your comment. The price for that house does not surprise me since Boise is growing so fast. Many of the more popular cities have those scooters now. Boise is a very popular place in the Mountain West. - Henry
I was skeptical, but introducing the scooters was a great idea. I work downtown and am able to run errands or have lunch at places I wouldn't have had time to visit otherwise. On nice days I'll do my own little tours of the Basque Block, or the Greenbelt, or the Old Boise Cemetery thanks to the scooters. The streets would be filled with bikes even without the rentals, since so many BSU students live just outside downtown or in the North End, and use them to get to and from campus. (As do a lot of commuters.) As for electric street cars, well, we tried that about 115 years ago. It didn't take. :-D localwiki.org/boise/Boise_&_Interurban_Company
I would probably be doing the same. My oncly concern is when all of our towns start looking alike based upon scooters, bycicles, electric street cars, and everyone dressing the same, as in europe. It isn't happening yet, but ...
I realize treadmilling can be a "non-audio" experience, but there are some amazing historical tidbits in Boise that could be a cool add. There is an art deco neighborhood. The Basque Block is rife with history. Fun fact: The former home of the "red light/brothel" district in Boise is the current location of City Hall, per local walking tour guides. #historyisamazing
Love that. I'd like to go back and do another walk with more info like that. Thanks. -H
This is a great idea enjoyed the virtual walk keep up the good work sir
Thanks -H
Wow nice video pretty clean city too. From SLC Utah
Lucas Delgado yes, as a wonderful little city. Very clean and orderly and lots going on. Thanks for the comment. - Henry
Cool! Nice video. Great quality.
Thanks so much for watching and the comment. Glad you enjoyed it. -Henry
Great idea! These are very cool! Boise is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do! -Henry
Oh this is so neat! I'm a Real Estate Agent in Boise I will have to link this video in some of my other stuff its such a perfect tour of downtown
Please do! That would be great. Thanks -H
I have been waiting for such a video! Appreciating all your efforts! Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it and let us know. Happy walking ! -Henry
This is soooo helpful! Thank you for making this!
You're so welcome!
Very helpful video! Considering moving to Boise so good to see what it looks like up close.
Glad it was helpful! -H
Thank you! I watched the entire video.
Awesome, thank you! I appreciate the comment as well. -H
Very clean city and not a homeless person in sight.
K
Right
Nice movie!
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it. -Henry
I’m impressed. No litter or homeless people. I’m a San Francisco girl, enough said.
Thanks! -H
San Francisco looks like the walking dead compared to Boise im mean SF has like 4 mil people and Boise has 1 mil SF is so trashy Boise @ nitetime is such a vibe
I found out your channel today and subscribed to it.
Yes, I watched the whole video and was tracking your way on google maps. But I sped it up.
So glad to you have you aboard. Thanks for the comment and for the info on how you use it. Always appreciate the feedback. I'll be posting another couple St Petersburg Russia and then 8 from Switzerland. Filming in London now. Thanks again and welcome. -Henry
Que lugar lindo 👏👏👏👏 😍🇧🇷
Thanks so much. And welcome. -Henry
Very cool. Driving there this month. Thanks
Have fun!
1:07:27 that’s the Christmas tree that the city puts up each year. Good thing you were able to see it because last year the tree fell down and they cut it up so we didn’t have a tree
Oh, no, that's sad to hear. Thanks for the info though. -H
The super broad point of view makes Boise appear more aesthetically pleasing than it actually is imo. But maybe that's cause I was born and raised in the area. Pros is it's clean, safe, and easy to get around. Cons are it's boring, getting too expensive, vanilla exclusive people. Met lots of people throughout my life who are afraid of experiencing different.
Great to hear from a local. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. I think one finds lots of people afraid of different wherever you go but some places are certainly more so. Thanks. -H
Nice!
Thanks. And thanks for taking the time to comment. -Henry 😀
Thanks Henry for another great walk, I particularly liked Harrison Boulevard with the large houses. Btw, is there an issue with the sound fading in and out every now and then (such as at 28:30)?
Glad you enjoyed it. I went out of my way to go up there because of the houses and end up finding that little commercial restaurant area. Yes, I was having a mic issue that I didn’t realize at the time so rather than have static crashing in on the audio track, I faded the sound down in those sections. Thanks for watching as always happy walking. -Henry
Great video. Thanks. Downtown night life would be nice to show. People want to see people... Muito obrigado!
Thanks so much. Good suggestion. -H
8am! In my country always sunrise time around 6am (thanks god) but with 120F degree :)
That's TOO MANY DEGREES! Wow that sounds hot. -H
Great walk! Liked.
So glad you enjoyed it! -H
18:00 wow looks so pretty!
Thanks so much -H

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. -Henry

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it. -Henry
Looks so clean. No homeless
Homeless are there, just not out this early in winter. Very clean and more and more expensive. -H
I love dogs
Me too Elena. -H
Thanks for sharing this. I went to google "Idaho" after watching this video. Got me curious about this place. =D The place seems devoid of people. Is it because everyone is at work or is the temperatures too cold for a walk?
thanks for watching. The streets were empty in part because it was early and a Sunday and part because it was cold. Also, most people here drive everywhere and theres not much public transportation so people aren’t walking that last few blocks. Thanks for the comment. 😀😀😀😀
@@CityWalks Thanks for explaining. =D I learnt a bit today =)
All the people are sleeping off Saturday night. 😴
@@CityWalks people take Lyft in the dt area. I know bc I drive for them in Boise.
40 degree mid January at 8 am, hey that's not very cold
Yeah, it can definitely be a lot colder. -H
I found your video as I was looking for Basque places in Boise. I'll probably never visit the place since I'm in València, Spain. However, I've enjoyed your video many times as I use it for my treadmill. Btw, I prepared a google map, in case you find it useful for your description. Unfortunately, if I paste its url here it seems this post is marked as spam.
Yeah, that's a bummer about the link. My email is in the About tab and I'll add the map if you send me the link. Gracias! -H
Ok what’s the catch. This looks like the cleanest city in the world. I have seen a few American city’s, this one looks awesome and the rest starting to look post apocalyptic
Well, for starters, it's growing fast and has a lot of money. And second, the citizens set that expectation and take care of it. At least that's my theory. Thanks for watching. -H
Thanks friend for your sharing .
I wonder where the people in this city !?
This was filmed early on a Sunday morning so people were at home or at church (or maybe up in the mountains skiing). Thanks for the comment. -H
Did u hear him? It was mid January it's free zing cold early in the morning in mid Jan. Of course nobody out. I can't believe even he walked around in the cold that long.
Lived there, down town is nice but it is kind of an island in the sea of urban confusion the rest of the town is an head scratcher at times.
Thanks. Love hearing from locals. Yeah, I can see that. Many US cities are like that. The sprawl can be a bit numbing. -H
How would you rank Boise out of the cities you've been to? Are the people nice? Going to BSU this summer, super nervous.
Hi and congrats. I think it's like anywhere else. Most people are friendly, some aren't. I haven't spent a significant amount of time there but it seemed like a cool town and I think you'll have a great time. Have you watched the BSU video? -H
@@CityWalks It sure looks awesome and nature is so much closer to the city compared to where I live (Kansas City), I've heard things about Idahoans not being friendly to outsiders, but I love the downtown vibes and the feel of it being a big city but not too overwhelming as the same time, also I haven't ,will check that out now!
@@yeehaw6507 Boise has grown so fast over the last few years, there probably is some friction with the old timers, (but nothing serious) but also a lot of newcomers who will be in the same boat, especially around the University. I tend to assume friendliness brings friendliness and there are good people wherever we go. Best of luck. -H
@@CityWalks Good to hear, thanks!
I know this video is older but thanks for another great video. In their downtown area, I wonder how the city of Boise keeps the brick sidewalks level and in great shape given the climate and seasons?
Good question! I think with all the incoming people, they have the tax money to build and maintain but I could be wrong about that.
In the next couple weeks, I'll be releasing a new walk around the Boise State Campus if you are interested. Thanks for the comment. -H
You should visit olympia and make a walking tour. What i see olympia capital city is not nice looking right ?
That's a great suggestion. I haven't been there yet but I may do a road trip and I could add it on. Thanks! -Henry
Nice!🥰
Thanks for watching
Doesn't look like too much activity in the downtown area.
Not early on a Sunday morning but on Sat evening it was pretty hopping. It was also cold. Thanks for watching -Henry
Fun vid.) cheers
Thanks. -H
@@CityWalks welcome.)
...so much cleaner than the cruddy cities in california.....
Thanks.
This is weird seeing my town on TH-cam lol
I love it when locals speak up in the comments. Yes, it's different from behind the camera but strange when we are on camera filmed by someone else. You have a great city though, very hip, very cool. I'd like to come back and spend more time there. -Henry
@Rice Krispies Yes, colloquial meanings aside, it is most definitely a city with all the perks of a city. Thanks for watching. -H
Hey, that girl just J walked! I guess if there's no traffic, it doesn't matter.
Yep. It was early. Thanks for watching. -H
It looks like there's no other people in this video? I didn't even see anyone walking or just at store. Can anyone explain it to me?
Yeah, it was fairly early on a Sunday morning. I was there traveling with my family and could only do a walk then. I'd like to get back and do a walk on a Friday night. The downtown is bustling then. -H
@@CityWalks is Boise, Idaho different in Apple Valley?
@@k4yceetv308 I don't know Boise that well so I'm not sure where Apple Valley is. Sorry.-H
I was there like 10 years ago 😰👀
I think it's changed a LOT since then. Very cool city. Hope you get a chance to get back. -Henry
As long as the city government can keep their city streets as clean as the streets thot are in this video; Boise; and the vicinity area will have that positive quality of life feeling for the residents!
If the current crime rate can be kept at a low profile then people who are interested in living in Boise; and the surrounding area will see it as a positive situation; and relocate to the city.

In Colorado looking to flee the aim low, worry about it when the time comes, drug addicted, homeless, riff raff that prevades the west. Boise looks nice. I vote right and am coming with cash for a house and a job. I'm shocked at what has happened to some of our citys.

No panhandlers, and no tent cities.

Anyone remember bogies nightclub? Lmao.
Sounds like local knowledge. And maybe some interesting stories? -H
Haha yeah I sure do!
Do you have any information or walking tour videos that show the shopping, restaurants, movie theaters or any other entertainment places? Do you have any information on any storage facilities or apartments available?
No, sorry. I do know that prices are soaring for everything as thousands of people move into the area. -H
It’s beautiful but where are all the people?
It was early weekend morning. -H
The car tires seam loud, I wonder if they are using studs.
They usually have that rattle sound but this was filmed in winter so highly probably. -H
What time was this filmed? Why is the street so empty?
This was filmed pretty early on a Sunday morning. -H
I like it, but lately its more expensive to live compare to most states, now its like NC and AZ!
Very true. Crazy prices. -H
Wayward pines
That was such a good show. The ending really got me on season 1. -H
But there’s none in the streets...at what time did you record this clip?
I believe it was around 8am on a Sunday. -H
Nice video quality. The wind noise is distracting though, sounds like you're carrying a plastic bag that keeps flapping in the wind.
👍
Lugar soñado
Thanks. -H
@@CityWalks saludos! Estoy inmensamente feliz que alguien de allí me responda, soy de Posadas Misiones, Argentina. Amo ese lugar.

@@CityWalks feliz año nuevo,!! También para uds, gente linda,acá tenemos las cataratas del Iguazú que son espectaculares.
