We reached Boise on our fifth day. With a population of around a quarter
million, Boise is not the same as I remember it from the 1960s when it had a
population of about 35,000. It even has
its own remodeling series on HGTV nowadays.
The Idaho Capitol is a gem. There are two good viewpoints. The best is the classic view from the nearby Cecil Andrus Park.
Cecil's gubernatorial career would have earned him a decent statue, but throw in his work as Secretary of the Interior and he probably deserves the park.
There is another view - the one shown on Boise Boys - taken from the intellectual capital of Idaho, up by the Boise River. To get this shot, you will need to stand in the street across from "The Cabin," a gathering place for Boise’s readers and writers. You will also need a fairly long telephoto lens.
With our main mission for this trip complete, we only had a couple more stops to make, and four more capitol buildings remaining to photograph in order to complete all 50.
