Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 5.5 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Nampa instead of crossing town between them. Warhawk Air Museum is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Lions Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to families, families with kids, and friends who want a planned Nampa outing without improvising between stops.
