Total Distance: 2.2 miles / 45 minutes of walking
In Boise, you can start your dog-walking adventure at the dog-friendly Cloud 9 Brewery, a “nanopub” that features locally sourced and organic brews and bites.
When you’ve had your fill of IPAs and street tacos, head to Ann Morrison Park. Start by heading south on State St to 16th St and hang a right. Take 16th until it merges with 15th St and becomes S. Americana Blvd. Continue on S. Americana across the Boise River until you reach the park and its variety of fields, gardens and riverside trails.
If your dog wants to keep going, end the day at Morris Hill Dog Park by continuing down S. Americana Blvd onto Emerald Street and taking a left on N. Roosevelt Street.
