Boise Airport (BOI) is south of downtown Boise and is an arrival gateway for Bogus Basin, Tamarack and Brundage Mountain. Bogus Basin is a winding climb above the city; Tamarack and Brundage are much longer journeys north toward Donnelly and McCall. The airport has designated ground-transport areas, including colour-coded curbs for taxis, shuttles and buses. A city bus is not a direct service to every ski area. Some resorts list local or seasonal mountain buses from town, but the airport leg must be arranged separately. Confirm the entire itinerary, equipment capacity and return vehicle before buying independent tickets for a trip into the Idaho mountains. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Boise Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Most transport uses the lower roadway outside baggage claim. The airport lists black curb for taxis, green for courtesy shuttles, blue for paid shuttles and purple for buses. Rideshare pickup is on the upper curb at the east end; follow current signs.
Check Idaho 511 for Highway 55 and the final mountain road. Bogus Basin Road is narrow and winding; McCall-area journeys can be delayed by snow and weekend traffic.
These approximate road distances help you shortlist a destination. The exact distance depends on your hotel and the road used; check live directions before travel.
