 Climb the hump |
1200 Heron Street (13th and Heron streets) Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 384 4240 |
Nestled in the North End, this popular park rises like a camel's sandy hump in the high desert. To really appreciate the park, bring your walking shoes and get your heart rate up with a vigorous hike to the top. It stretches out below you from the tree-lined North End streets to the prairie like desert and craggy Owyhee Mountains in the distance. After your climb, grill some burgers and play a set of tennis at the public courts. If you've had enough activity, relax on the green lawn and watch Frisbee-loving dogs show off.

Delicate stained glass mosaics |
1110 West Franklin Street Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 343 7511 |
This fine example of modern Gothic architecture lives up to its "Cathedral of the Rockies" name. Stained glass windows from a Philadelphia studio add a delicate grace. Each stained glass window tells a different story, including tales from Boise's history. Constructed of flagstone and sandstone, the cathedral boasts a towering spire and equally imposing cross. With a 1,000-person seating capacity and numerous public rooms, the cathedral is a popular place of worship. Review © 2007, Wcities |

1870s church furnishings |
950 West State Street Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 345 3441 |
Located in the downtown, this church, rebuilt in the 1920s and 1950s, retains some of the original building's 19th century charm. Faded furnishings, dating back to 1878 and survivors of an arduous covered wagon trek, are on display. These antiques were originally used when the church occupied the site of what is now the Idanha Hotel. The middle portion of the church, which is used as the education building, was built in 1929. Stained-glass windows add a graceful touch to this modern church. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Window shopping along historic street |
13th Street (north of downtown) Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 344 7777 http://www.northend.org/hydepa... |
For old-world charm, visitors can stroll or cycle through this North End neighborhood. Neat bungalows line 13th Street, brushing up against sports stores, river guides, art galleries, interior decorators, antique shops and tasty restaurants like Lucky 13 and Richard's Across the Street. Close to the downtown area but feeling like a small village within the city, the neighborhood is famous for its Hyde Park Street Fair. This small retail center deserves its place among favorite shopping haunts. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Idaho's largest cathedral |
775 North 8th Street Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 342 3511 |
Descriptive stained-glass windows accent this 800-seat cathedral. Idaho's largest cathedral stretches across an entire city block and has ceilings that soar up to 50 feet, but its size does not detract from its simple elegance. Warm, rich tones light the interior and intricate paintings climb the walls. Opening in 1921, the sandstone cathedral follows a Romanesque design, based on a Mainz, Germany cathedral. Even though the cathedral underwent a restoration in 1979, it retains an old-world feeling. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Historic Gothic church |
518 North Eighth Street Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 342 5601 |
Stained-glass Tiffany windows accent this old church. Claiming the area's first church bell, the church was constructed in 1902 with the same sandstone that is found in many of Boise's old buildings. The church's first organ, bought for USD500, began a strong tradition of music. Today, there are occasionally free concerts featuring Boise State University singers. Voices ring clearly in this Gothic church, making each concert an event not to miss. Review © 2007, Wcities |
