Things To Do

Sun Valley is one of the most beautiful places in the country. People travel from all over the world to fly fish, golf, mountain bike, hike, kayak, or to just take in the scenery. Below are some of our favorite things to do and places to eat/drink.

Walk Sun Valley Village/Lodge/Drinks at Duchin Lounge

1 Sun Valley Rd., Sun Valley, ID 83353

Enjoy the shops and Sun Valley's rich history. Don't miss the wall of fame inside the Sun Valley lodge. You will not be welcomed back if you don't have a drink at the Duchin Lounge.

River Run Gondola to Roundhouse

520 Serenade Lane, Ketchum, ID 83340
, (208) 626-6136

Take the gondola up to Roundhouse for lunch and a cold beer. If you're looking for more of an activity, rent a mountain bike and take it up the gondola (you'll probably have more fun riding down). Bike rentals: Sturtenvants or Backwoods.

Drive to Galena Summit/Smiley Creek Lodge

This drive is north of Ketchum. The scenery is unreal! You can turn around at Galena Summit (you'll know you've arrived because there is a specific spot to pull off at the summit to take in the view) or you can continue to Smiley Creek Lodge for the BEST milk shakes you've ever had (make it a double).

Hike Up Bald Mountain to Roundhouse

520 Serenade Ln, Ketchum, ID 83340

Instead of taking the gondola up, you can hike up to Roundhouse from a trail that starts at the bottom of River Run Lodge. Moderate hike; take the gondola down. You earned that burger and beer!

Sun Valley Golf Course

1 Trail Creek Road, Sun Valley, ID 83353

One of many golf courses in the valley.

Fly Fish the Big Wood River

Equipment can be rented at Silver Creek Outfitters or Lost Creek Outfitters in Ketchum. If you're serious about this, think about booking a guide for a day.
