Boise · 30 towns · 10 countiesIdaho City sits near 3,986 feet, about 1,300 feet higher than Boise. January nights average about 13.5°F, and the town averages roughly 69 inches of snow a year. Every unit we send from November through March gets antifreeze in the tank at no added cost.
That snow total is about four times what Boise gets. Water in a hand-wash station will freeze on most winter nights here, so we suggest a sanitizer stand instead.
| Season | What we change in Idaho City |
|---|---|
| November to March | Antifreeze in every tank, included |
| Snow on the ground | You keep a plowed path to the unit |
| Summer | Shade placement for busy weekends |

Idaho City hosts at least 4 yearly events that draw outside crowds. A chili cook-off comes in March, and the Gold Dust Rodeo runs in late June. The Jack Pine Roundup rodeo follows in August, then Idaho City Days in early October. Each one needs restrooms beyond what Main Street buildings offer.
A rodeo crowd stays for hours and often drinks. For an all-day event, divide the crowd by 30. Then add 1 unit for every 4 when a beer garden is open.
| Crowd | All-day units | With beer sales |
|---|---|---|
| 150 | 5 | 7 |
| 300 | 10 | 13 |
| 500 | 17 | 22 |
At least 1 unit per cluster should be accessible. See our ADA porta potty rental options and the event rental page.
