Idahoans and outdoor enthusiasts! If you're anything like me, you've been itching for a little nature-inspired adventure now and then. And what better place to find it than in our beautiful national parks? But do you know which ones are closest to us here in Boise?

Well, that's where I come in. According to Stacker, we have an impressive list of 63 national parks within reasonable driving distance from our beloved City of Trees. If you're up for a short drive, the City of Rocks National Reserve is a mere two hours away with its unique rock formations and historic routes. A little further out, at around four hours, you'll find Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve. This surreal landscape genuinely lives up to its name.

And remember the majestic Yellowstone National Park, teeming with geysers, hot springs, and diverse wildlife. It's about a five-hour drive, but believe me, the sight of Old Faithful erupting under the vast Wyoming sky is worth every minute.

Before you pack your bags and hit the road, remember to check each park's safety precautions before you visit. After all, these parks aren't just about fun and adventure. They're also home to endangered species, archaeological sites, and miles of trails that future generations deserve to enjoy.

So, whether you're a seasoned hiker or just looking for a weekend getaway, take a moment to appreciate the natural beauty that's practically in our backyard. Happy exploring, Boise!
