Best college town in every state

Best college towns in America: Boise, Idaho (Home of Boise State University)

When college football fans think of Boise State, they think of a blue field first and foremost. Others might remember Ian Johnson’s proposal after beating Oklahoma, but the majority of the experiences involve football outside of campus. A trip to Boise can be so much more than football.

The Boise Greenbelt brings a trail right through the city and Boise State University campus. That is extremely unique as most trails in college towns take some effort to get to. It’s a great place for walkers and joggers alike, and it has awesome views of the Boise River.

Table Rock is also super cool. The rock formation overlooks the city of Boise to give you the best views of everything. For those into ghosts, tourists have to go past the Old Idaho Penitentiary just to get to the trailhead. People can either drive or hike to the top, where the views of the range are second to none.

Like many cities, beer and breweries have taken over Boise. There are more than a dozen breweries to try, and it really gives you a feel of the city outside the football games. Now, football is still something everyone should experience. It’s what this city does best. The team is usually pretty good, and the fans are always welcoming of a new face.
