Outstanding set. It looks like you have some cranes downtown as well. What are the main economic engines in the city? I know Micron is somewhere out there, but it would be interesting to kow what makes the city tick economic wise.

Amazing compilation of pictures from Boise! Thanks for sharing, Sawtooth. Great three months work!

I always really enjoy watching pictures of Boise. I love the great amount of trees and green areas you´ve in the city. I like life in the streets too. Beautiful houses, by the way.

I enjoyed the pictures of the deers. Lovely!

Boise, and surely the whole state of Idaho, is full of beautiful landscapes and fascinating attractions.

I use the moment to wish you a Happy New Year.

Greetings from Madrid, Spain.

Beautiful Sawtooth! You're photos are like looking through a giant coffee table picture book.

Great pictures of a sweet looking environment. Boise is a pleasant looking city with lots to offer I'm sure.

Thanks East72nd. As you said Boise has Micron, we also have a large Hewlett Packard campus as well as dozens of other large and small hi tech companies. Simplot Corporation (one of the largest privately owned companies in the world) has their headquarters here and some of the cranes you saw in the photos are for Simplot's JUMP project as well as their new headquarters which is under construction.

Albertson's is headquartered here and rumored for headquarter job growth after they finish buying out Safeway later this year. Winco, a regional grocery store chain has headquarters in Boise. Morrison Knudsen Corporation, which was one of the largest construction companies in the world was headquartered here but is now owned by Washington Group International (WGI). MotivePower also has headquarters in the city and they build trains and commuter rail cars here in Boise for cities around the world.

There are also a lot of state government jobs, banking jobs, etc. Bodybuilding.com is headquartered in the valley and Boise Cascade has corporate headquarters downtown. The Boise State campus downtown employs a lot of people. There are a lot more employers, but what I've listed should give you an idea of what makes Boise tick.

Looks like a very nice place. Reminds me of Boulder a bit visually.

Great little city!
