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.
