For those who love the outdoors and everything it has to offer this Boise hike is perfect for you. The weather is getting warmer so going on a hike this time of year feels great! It’s not too cold and it’s not too hot anymore so being adventurous is both fun and healthy.

Table Rock is one of the most well-known Boise hikes and it’s definitely for a reason. While it hurts to work your way up it is extremely rewarding once you get to the top.

Due to the view at the top of Table Rock it has quickly become one of Idaho's most popular hikes quickly overshadowing all of the other ones. But there are plenty of hikes in Idaho that lots of people would say are better than Table Rock.

Table Rock is just a little over 3 miles, 1.5 miles to the top and 1.5 miles back to the bottom. This hike is good for families to go on and doesn’t require any expertise.

The trail is a little rigid composed of rocks and dirt so it’s smart to keep your eyes on the trail while you are there. The way up is not too steep with the biggest climb being at the end but for the most part, even if you aren’t active this should still be manageable for you.

The way down is not bad either with only a few steep declines as long as you are going slow and steady you will be perfectly okay. As you go down it even helps to zig-zag down the trail just to be safe.

The best part is being at the top of the hike. The view is great and there’s even a giant cross at the very top. However there are plenty of other hikes that also give you a great view of Idaho that are not Table Rock and should be just as appreciated..
