Wood River Trail
There are numerous hiking and mountain biking trails around Ketchum and Sun Valley, as well as excellent fishing spots. The Wood River Trail is the all-connecting artery linking Sun Valley with Ketchum and continuing 32 bucolic miles south down to Bellevue via Hailey. Bikes can be hired from Pete Lane's in the mall next to the Sun Valley Lodge.

Sun Valley Resort
Famous for its light, fluffy powder and celebrity guests, the dual-sited resort comprises advanced-terrain Bald Mountain and easier-on-the-nerves Dollar Mountain, which also has a tubing hill. In summer, take the chairlift to the top of either mountain, and hike or cycle down. Facilities are predictably plush.
