Idaho Rivers United and the Land Trust for the Treasure Valley partnered with LightHawk pilot, Bob Peterson and Gary Grimm of Mountain Visions to capture more than 200 aerial photographs of the Boise River on June 3, 2011, from the Glenwood Bridge to the Snake River on the Oregon Idaho border. This Google Earth Tour provides a sample of a dozen of these photos, with short explanatory descriptions, placed at the locations where they were taken during the flight.

As you play this tour some web browsers may have the "Historical Imagery" slider enabled at the top left of the window. Pause the player and close down any windows that are open and you can move the slider back and forth to see development stages along the Boise River over time.

Here is a link to a kmz file that will allow you to download it to Google Earth and use the "Historical Slider" and additional layers that Google Earth provides.
