In 2010, Boise City purchase 1,320 acres
near Bogus Basin ski area for $1.32 million. $1 million came
from Fred Alleman, a Boise citizen and avid Ridge to Rivers Trail
user. The property is located about 9 miles from downtown
Boise west of Bogus Basin Road in a forested area with steep slopes
and old logging roads. It primarily lies in Boise County and
includes the prominent Stack Rock geologic formation. The
reserve is a desirable destination for multiple recreational uses,
including hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing. Freddy's
Stack Rock Trail is a new loop trail that meanders through the
reserve. It links up with the current Ridge to Rivers trail
system in the Shafer Butte area.
