Military Reserve Geocaching

 

Adjacent to downtown Boise sits an old Military Reserve.  Now reserved as a city park, it offers nearly 500 acres of excellent mountain biking, hiking, and views of Boise, the Treasure Valley, and the Owyhee Mountain range on the other side of the valley.  Mike took the kids up during an early spring weekend to do some geocaching as well.
