When the snow melts, the trails open up.
If you’re a skier or snowboarder, you may have heard of the world class slopes in Idaho’s Sun Valley, but for the other three seasons of the year, this area flies relatively under the radar. That’s good news for anybody who likes open trails and peace and quiet in the great outdoors. There are endless spots to explore and the drive from town to any of these locations is just as beautiful as the destinations themselves. So start making your plans to explore Idaho today and put Sun Valley at the top of the list!
