Geography & Climate
        The Treasure Valley is a large
        area located in Idaho’s southwest
        region extending into southeast
        Oregon.  For our purposes, we’re
        focused exclusively on the Boise
        metropolitan area. Concentrating
        on the Boise area, this part is
        a wide valley, considered to be
        at the foot of the distant Rocky
        Mountains. The valley floor is
        carved by streams and rivers, the
        largest remaining being the Boise
        River that joins the Snake River
        about 40 miles to the north.


        The location of the Boise
        metro area lends itself to four
        distinct seasons. In the summer,
        temperatures range from the
        upper nineties to the lower sixties.
        Summers are dry and especially
        delightful in the early evenings
        into the late mornings. Depending
        on where you’re from, winters
        are moderately cold with little or
        occasional snow. Spring and Fall
        are mild and the favorite times
        of year to explore much of Idaho,
        especially if mountain biking,
        camping, and fishing are at the
        tops of your recreational interests.
