Sun Valley, ID

Sun Valley has long been a hangout of the rich and famous, attracting the Likes of Ernest Hemingway, Gary Cooper and Clarke Gable back in the day.


Sun Valley Lodge, built in the 30’s, has concrete walls stained to look like wood, nicely done.  Behind the hotel is a huge, all-season ice skating rink.  It’s open to the public, has professional shows several times a year.


Adjacent to the lodge is this music pavilion which has big name entertainment in the summer.  The pavilion is about 7 years old and is an architectural masterpiece.  There’s big money here.  Both Sun Valley and Ketchum are chock full of attractive, unique structures: lodges, homes, hotels, businesses, you name it. 




River Run Lodge, at the base of Bald Mountain, is right at the edge of town.  This ski area has both chair lifts and gondolas.  There are several other ski lifts in the area, catering to all skill levels.

A big thank you goes to Nancy for hauling us around, showing us the above sites and many others.
