Sun Valley is a small resort city in central Idaho within the larger Wood River valley. It is adjacent to Ketchum, and the cities share many resources. The entire city is a large playground – you can go ice-skating, riding, hiking, biking, golfing, fishing, and playing tennis. But, most people associate Sun Valley with spectacular skiing on Bold and Dollar Mountains. No wonder Bruce Willis and Schwarzenegger name Sun Valley as their favorite ski vacation spot.
Sun Valley has a thriving art scene, and the best way to explore it is during the monthly Gallery Walks. The Sun Valley Museum of History brings the past of Sun Valley to life, and Forest Service Park will delight you with weekly free live concerts. Sun Valley has its own opera and October Jazz Festival and the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, which brings writers and readers together.
