Boise Foothills Trail System
BOISE, Idaho -Â With trails just mere minutes from Boise State's home track of Dona Larsen Park, the Boise foothills offers Boise State athletes one of the most unique places to train.
Over 100 miles of dirt trails compile the Ridge to Rivers trail system, the primary training ground for the Boise State cross country and track and field teams. With additional trail systems in the surrounding area, Bronco runners are left with countless options.
The Boise foothills receive over one million uses each year on its over 150 named trails. The soft surface trails cover over 85,000 acres of rolling foothills to the Rocky Mountains. With most snow falling only in the upper mountains, the trails of the lower foothills offer year-round use.
Boise State athletes are able to utilize the foothills for an altitude advantage as well. The foothills range in elevation ranging from 2,700 feet at Dona Larsen Park, up to 7,000 feet at the Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area.
