Item Description

Mores Mountain Hike

Mores Mountain provides 3-4 miles of beautiful mountain trails just 20 miles north of Boise near the Bogus Basin Ski Area.

Native plant experts Roger Rosentreter and Ann DeBolt will take up to 4 people on a hike around Mores Mountain to look at plants – preferably sometime between June and August.

Wildflowers, shrubs and trees will be identified, and the plant's ecology and ecosystem values will be discussed. More than 200 plants have been identified for this area, so come prepared to learn, as well as enjoy the beauty.
