This live camera looks over Boise, the capital of Idaho, set in a high valley at about 1,800 metres where the Boise River meets the foothills. Watch it to check how the city and the surrounding hills look right now before heading out.

About the city

Boise sits in southwestern Idaho on a high desert plain, with the Boise Front foothills rising directly to the north. The city is known for its river greenway, its many parks and an easy connection to outdoor life, from hiking and cycling to fishing on the river. Its position in a semi-arid valley gives it a clear, open horizon that makes the surrounding mountains easy to see from many points in town.

What the camera shows

Because the view is framed by the mountains and the city's lower skyline, the light changes most noticeably at sunrise and in the hour before sunset, when the foothills take on warm colours. Clear days show the hills in fine detail, while winter snow on the ridges is often visible for weeks. Depending on the view, you may also notice seasonal haze or cloud building over the peaks in the afternoon.

Climate and getting around

Boise has warm, dry summers and cold winters with occasional snow, and spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for visiting. The city is compact enough to explore on foot or by bike, and nearby cameras in Rhodes Park, in Meridian and in Lower Stanley give further views of the region, including the mountain country farther east.
