Summer Activities
Base area Activities
Summertime in Boise means long days of sunlight, heading to the hills to beat the heat, and of course, staying active. The Bogus Basin team over recent years has designed their mountain landscape into a paradise of summer activities for everyone.
The Sourdough Slider
No snow? No problem! You can still enjoy the thrill of tubing in the summer! Feel the rush of wind in your face as you slide down the lower section of the bowl. Race side-by-side or solo down the two 300-foot lanes. Once at the bottom, hop back on the conveyor-lift for a ride up to the top!
The launch pad bungee jump
Defy gravity and soar more than 20 feet into the air at The Launch Pad Bungee Jump! Strap into a secure harness and bounce to your heart’s content — each leap propels you higher and higher. The harder you bounce, the higher you fly, making for an exhilarating experience that’s as thrilling as it is safe.
stack rock climbing wall
Your goal? Find the right route and reach the top of the 32-foot structure as quickly and efficiently as possible. Once you are at the top, ring the buzzer, and the auto belay system softly lets you down. You have four different routes to choose from, which means there is something for everyone’s ability level. Built-in timers make this activity ideal for challenging a friend!
shafer butte mining co.
Did you know you can pan for gems, arrowheads, and fossils at Bogus Basin? The Shafer Butte Mining Co. is the perfect activity for the littles and adults. Purchase your bag of pay dirt from the J.R. Simplot Ticket Window, then head to the Shafer Butte Mining Co., where you grab your screen box, pour in your dirt, then start sifting to find your treasures!
