Hulls Gulch Reserve

We hike this constellation of trails daily; what a gift to have these miles and miles of trails blocks from our backyard. That being said, usage has dramatically increased the last couple years, and with it: wear and tear on the trails, garbage, erosion and a decline in trail etiquette. It is incumbent upon us all to maintain these trails so that they can be lovingly hiked, run and biked for generations to come.

All my youth is tied up in those there foot hills, been living in the North End of Boise all of my life so far. Now sharing the experience with my daughter, as we hiked down one of the many trails in the Foothills behind Camels Back park today. She noticed the glow of the yellow grass as the sun was starting to set and decided to take a picture.

Lovely area to get a quick exercise in. You can do laps on the very steep section up the "camel's back." The area is pretty popular on the days with good weather, so it gives the park a lively scene. Plus, it's next to the hipster part of town where you can grab some delicious coffee and bagel sandwich at the nearby coffee shop.
