Glade Runner – Idaho’s ONLY Mountain Coaster
Bogus Basin is home to the only mountain coaster in the state of Idaho. Experience 4,330 feet of high speed, twisting and turning, screaming and cheering through the woods! Just east of the Simplot Lodge, guests (driver and passenger) are seated in a mountain coaster cart, pulled to the top of the track, then released at the top for an exhilarating ride through the trees. You are in control of your own speed and by pressing the handles all the way forward, you unleash The Glade Runner’s full potential!

Shafer Butte Mining Company
Dig deep into the history of Bogus Basin, where swindlers used to manufacture gold and pawn it off to the unsuspecting shop owners in Boise. Bogus Basin got its name in the early 1860’s from these gold swindlers. Purchase your pay dirt at the Simplot Lodge ticket window, then take a stab at striking gold or finding gems, arrowheads, and fossils in the Shafer Butte Mining Company sluice. A great activity for all ages.
