15. Foothills Grove

Foothills Grove

The Foothills Grove is planted with trees removed from Boise’s Basque Center when it was renovated in 2000. Here you may find an old Basque Sheepherders wagon and a labyrinth.

Labyrinths, a spiral design with only one path in and out, have existed in human culture for over 4,000 years. Used for meditation, personal reflection, connecting with nature, and prayer; labyrinths have played a role in a wide range of religions. Labyrinths represent the journey of life. The double spiral design of this one represents a meandering, circuitous journey which sometimes diverts you from your goal, but ultimately leads you to the center and back into the world.
