Sun Valley, Idaho
The name "Sun Valley" was thought up by a New York PR man who thought the name appropriate for a place that receives 250 days of sunshine a year. This marked the first time a PR agency was guilty of understatement. To find your sunshine and adventure and for the most up to date travel and vacation planning information on Sun Valley Idaho, the Sun Valley Idaho CVB website is the source for information on lodging, restaurants, attractions and events. The website contains information on area weather, maps and other helpful travel aids for what ever you need for an exciting experience.
The Sun Valley area boasts nearly one million acres of surrounding wilderness and just about as many summer activities. Guests are invited to enjoy the many natural wonders -- fly-fishing in beautiful Silver Creek, hiking through teeming fields of wildflowers on Bald Mountain, or riding the rapids of the Salmon River. Thirty paved miles of bike trails, award-winning golf courses, a skateboard park and chairlift rides add a multitude of man-made marvels to Sun Valley's stunning backdrop.
Sun Valley hiking, rock climbing, and backpacking trips can end at the top of a ten thousand foot peak or at a pristine alpine lake. Spectacular views are everywhere and spotting wildlife is virtually guaranteed. Guided trips are available for any length trip and for any ability. For those choosing to go solo, maps and guide information are available at the Sun Valley/ Ketchum Visitors Center, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Visitor Center, Ketchum Ranger District, local bookstores, and the Community Library. |
