Information on Sun Valley:
Sun Valley is located in South Central Idaho just three hours from Boise in the Sawtooth Mountain Range. Since Averell Harriman first put Sun Valley on the map in 1936, the things that make the area irresistible have remained essentially the same. The sun shines almost daily on this Old West setting. Small bands of sheep are driven through Ketchum twice a year. Locals still smile and are glad to give directions. And the valley continues to be a peaceful refuge for visitors year after year. Sun Valley boasts two fabulous mountains: Baldy, considered by serious skiers as this country's single best ski mountain, and Dollar, a beginner's paradise with gentle, sunny slopes groomed to perfection. In the Old West town of Ketchum, just one mile down the road from the Sun Valley Resort, you'll find a lively community of shops, restaurants, night spots, art galleries and theater. Ketchum is best known for its small town friendliness that makes every visitor feel welcome.
