Sometimes life seems too busy, too much hustle and bustle, and sometimes way to demanding. Sometimes we just need to slow down and enjoy the simple God given gifts of this world. Back before the cars, airplanes and skyscrapers of this world, there was rivers, hills, wildlife to see. Take a moment to sit, close your eyes and think of how beautiful and slow it was.
Back in the good old year of 1833, a captain of an expedition stood on top of a hill and over looked the landscape of southern Boise and pronounced it Les Bois, and today we call it Boise.
Even at this place you can see ruts from the Oregon Trail and the whole entire Boise Valley! It is amazing to look out and see the clear crisp hills, sage brush, and beautiful wildlife.
If you visit here you can learn about Captain Bonneville, the Indians and it is also a great place for a picnic. I personally wouldn't recommend having a picnic at this time of year, but in the spring and summer it would be amazing.
