Boise Trail Heads

I set a goal for myself to climb Table Rock every day in August that I'm in town. I thought I would post for any others that wanted to get up early, beat the heat and get some exercise. This is more of a go your own pace hike than a group hike. I'm getting up to the top hiking in about 30 minutes and then running down. I figured if someone wanted to join for an accountability partner, safety issue or just like exercising early, you can join me. When: We'll depart right at 6:00 am from the gate at the Ridge-to-Rivers map. Where: Bishop's House parking lot trail head behind the Old State Penitentiary. Meet at the Ridge-to-Rivers map. Trail Length: If we take the front side route, it's 1.5 miles and 45 minutes at a moderate pace. Add another .5 miles and 20 minutes if we go around the back side by the quarry. Altitude gain is 1000 feet. Cancellation: It should be okay but wet and/or cloudy conditions will cancel the hike. Directions: Take Broadway North and turn RIGHT at Warm Springs Road. Travel about 1.5 miles then turn LEFT at Old Penitentiary Road (Warm Springs Road curves slightly to the right here). Go to the end of the tree-lined avenue and then turn LEFT at the sign (before you enter the Penitentiary Historic district grounds) and follow the road as it curves around to the right.
