I choose hotels that are close to the trail I want to ride the next morning. Just one intersection to navigate to get to a safe bike path along a really busy road then
down a ramp to the Boise River Greenbelt.
When the “natural path” began, it was time to find the paved trail:

A deaf bike rider and I ended up at this spot at the same time. Pretty soon, we were making gestures to each other that these guys are crazy and riding bikes is much better. To get in position to “ride the wave,” you could swim upstream to a ledge or scramble onto the rocks and walk upstream, paddle over and carefully go over the edge and set up. The guy in the red sweatshirt was two-footed jumping from rock to rock.
The northwest section bordered Boise State University:
Great trails, lots of connections on both sides of the river. The trails extend beyond the Greenbelt going all the way to Eagle and south as well. I would ride here again. 31 miles.
