Exploring Sun Valley ID -> First Impressions & Connections
It’s been just one week since we arrived in Ketchum ID and we’ve had quite the whirlwind of activity. Our new home lies in an area broadly known as Sun Valley just south of the Sawtooth Mountain Range in Central Idaho. At ~6,000 ft elevation it’s a popular winter ski resort and blissful summer escape for folks living in the hot valley around Boise.
Although we’ve only just started exploring this place, we’ve been able to complete quite a few outings (one of the few advantages of being in a cramped RV park is that you’re really motivated to get out) so we’ve managed to get a decent feel of the lay of the land. Plus we’ve had a few meet-ups too, so I figured I would update you on that too.
Here’s how our first impressions panned out….
The Appeal Of A Ski Resort In Summer
One of my many weird quirks is that I’m chronically afraid of slipping. I blame control issues and a serious injury I got in my 20’s the first time I tried snowboarding the baby slopes of Lake Tahoe, CA (yes, I had to be rescue-sledded off the baby slopes), Either way I’ve never spent much time at ski resorts. The whole snow part obviously holds zero appeal for me, so the towns have never really been on my radar and we’ve generally passed them up in favor of other destinations.
Since we started RVing however, we’ve “discovered” a few ski-resort-type towns outside of the regular ski season (Nederlands, Telluride & Mammoth Lakes come to mind) and I have to admit they’ve grown on me. They’re typically packed full of good restaurants and cafes (skiers get hungry you know) and in summer the slopes transform from a snow wonderland to an outdoor hiking/biking utopia. The folks who live here really, really love the outdoors so when the seasons change they simply switch from snow shoes to hiking boots. If you’re a nature-lover that’s a very appealing draw.
But It’s Not Cheap
The one thing that always kind of bums me out about ski towns is that they’re not cheap. I get it of course. Skiing is an expensive pastime, and the locations tend to be pristine mountain hideaways so they attract folks with extra $$ looking for a classy getaway. It’s how these places develop.
A quick drive through Ketchum, population ~2,700 reveals the city certainly appears to match that mold.
Located at the base of several gorgeous mountains, Ketchum is jam packed with huge homes on huge swathes of land. If you have a few million (or 5) to spare you’ll have your choice of stunning properties to buy, but even if you just want a little condo you’ve got to be prepared to drop several hundred thou. The cost of living is ~53% higher than the U.S. Average and most of the restaurants rate two $$ or more on Yelp. I don’t think you can find a true “hole in the wall” eatery within 100 miles of town.
This also explains why the one and only RV park in the valley, which crams RVs together like sardines (and would be considered mostly so-so anywhere else in the country) can charge up to $50/night in high season (we’ve got their monthly rate which is much more reasonable, but still not cheap). It’s easy to drop some serious $$ in a short time here.
Influx of Cash Has its Advantages Too
All that money does come with some advantages though. One thing about upscale towns is that they’re usually pretty cute and Ketchum is both compact, well laid-out and pristinely clean. The ~30 mile bike trail that passes through the valley is in impeccable condition and looks like it was just paved and painted last month (seriously, the trail is as smooth as butter). The hiking/biking trails around town are all beautifully maintained, the local farmers markets are excellent, there are free music concerts all summer long and the restaurants and bars are all really good. Even the local hospital is surrounded by art sculptures and looks like it was built yesterday. Ketchum is not as fancy as say, Aspen (no Dior boutiques here), but it’s fairly upscale nonetheless. You’ve basically got all the amenities of a big city packed into less than 5 square miles.
It’s Drop Dead Gorgeous
And then there’s the surrounding nature. It really is drop-dead, gob-smacking, slap-in-your-face beautiful here. The mountains around Ketchum vary from grassy rolling hills plastered in wildflowers (right near town) to majestic 10,000 ft snow-capped stunners that rise from the ground like a Phoenix from the ashes just an hour north of here. Drive over the pass from Ketchum to Stanley and you might well die from the gorgeousness of it all. I literally haven’t seen a mountain range this stunning since we went to the Tetons last year.
It’s Mostly Undiscovered
The one other big, huge advantage of Sun Valley is that it’s *mostly* undiscovered.
One of the first things I noticed when we got here was that most of the license plates were from ID. As naturally gorgeous as this place is, it’s mostly a local getaway. You’ve got to make an effort to get to the Sawtooth Mountains. The road that leads up here takes you off the beaten track of I-84 to…basically…nowhere. There are no National Parks up this way, no major towns and it’s not really on the way to anywhere. The town of Stanley just 60 miles north of here (which is smack in the middle of the most gorgeous part of the Sawtooths) is nothing but a few blocks of tourist-type buildings with a steady population of only ~80. Unless you make an effort to go there, there’s no reason to be passing through.
Plus apart from the sprinkling of upscale ski towns along the way, the whole area is *mostly* natural forest and wilderness. The Sawtooth National Recreation Area covers an impressive 756,000 acres with the Sawtooth Wilderness at 217,088 acres. In the highest mountain area there are 40 peaks over 10,000 feet, 300 lakes and over 700 miles of trails! Basically as soon as you step out of town you’re surrounded by endless miles of natural beauty. There’s no end of hiking/biking, miles of river (this is a big fly fishing area) and tons of forest camping and boondocking.
And The Weather Rocks
The other thing that’s been a fabulous surprise is the weather. Unlike most mountain ranges we’ve visited this area is surprisingly dry and incredibly bug-free. So far we’ve been averaging highs of around 80’s, lows of 50’s, mostly sunny days, very few storms and we’ve not seen a single mosquito since we’ve been here (yea for mosquito-magnet me!). It’s the strangest mountain weather I’ve ever seen, and I’m curious to see if the rest of our month here plays out the same way.
We’ve Made Connections
In the short time we’ve been here we’ve even managed to connect with a few fellow RVers.
Earlier this week blog reader Nancy dropped by, and it turns out fellow solo nomad extraordinaire Interstellar Orchard was also passing through town. In typical IO style Becky decided to boondock in her Casita just a few dozen miles down the road and we connected through the magic of the internet. If you’ve never heard of IO, check out her blog and her two books (yes, she’s a bona fide published author) “Solo RVing On A Budget” and the newly released “The Little Guide To Dreaming Big“. She’s a wonderful inspiration for both regular RVers and solo ladies & guys looking to get in the road. Plus she’s just a really down-to-earth and lovely lady. We had a great hike last week and are getting together for another one tomorrow.
First Impressions Are Good
So basically first impressions have been good. Once we got over the shock of how tight our RV park is, Ketchum has slowly been growing on us. We’ve been getting outside to play everyday, partly to keep our sanity but also because the mountains are too darn gorgeous to resist. We’ve had a few outings to eat, hitting lunch time specials rather than evening meals (much cheaper). Plus we’ve discovered one of our favorite things in the world here, a really good B to B (Bike to Beer) -> Sawtooth Brewery is a mere 4 miles away from our RV door on the next-door bike trail, and it’s so delicious we’ve already become regulars. I predict it’s going to be a good month 🙂
Coming Up Next -> While we continue to explore the area, I’ll be posting a few general posts including an Easy RV Mod, maybe a few recipes and a full update on Polly’s rehab (she’s doing well, by the way). Stay tuned….
Thank you for the pics! We will be going next year. I follow Becky of IO and love her blog!! Have a nice time. I sure hope to meet some famous RVers when we go on the road!! I know it’s hot in Texas! We are painting rooms here for our daughter in her newer home.
Ah yes, I can just imagine how hot it is in TX right now! Wish you the best of luck w/ both the painting & the RV plans.
Nina
Just read your story for the first time. Go Gators – also grew up in Miami. I now live in Tucson because I love the west.
I go to Crested Butte Colorado in the summer. About 100 miles from Telluride. If you haven’t been there i would put it on your itinerary. I love Telluride but CB is even nicer.
Looking forward to hearing your stories.
Mike
Glad you are finding the great in a crowded situation. Figured you would. Glad to see that Polls is doing well.
We loved exploring that area and even took the scenic short cut between Sun Valley and Mackay. Beautiful country. I was surprised by the lovely turquoise colored water at Redfish Lake – stunning. And you can’t beat those mountain meadows filled with wildflowers. We enjoyed lunch at the quaint “Kneadery”. We would’ve gladly continued our workamping if it had been located in Sun Valley 😉
We’ll have to try the Kneadery! I agree that it’s stunning around here, and I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by the weather….and the beer options.
Nina
Stock up on food, beer and wine and relocate to Stanley, Idaho. Real Idaho, without Sun Valley’s pretension. And lotsa boondocking locations.
Stop by Hemingway’s grave for writing inspiration before you go.
I have to admit I was pretty darn impressed with the whole valley around Stanley. Once you get over the summit from Sun Valley it’s like entering another world. Just beautiful…and so much great boondocking. We definitely want to go back.
Nina
Yes! Don’t forget the Hemingway grave and museum! After all, he wrote “Old Man and the RV,” (well, didn’t he?)
Well he should have! I’d definitely read it 🙂
Nina
Glad both of you are enjoying the Idaho mountains! In regards to your comment about the ID license plate, there might be a lot of plates from Idaho but the people are probably from different counties. Look at the first two digits to the left: if it says 5B, it is from that area; 1A is Boise/Meridian, E is Mountain Home area, etc. There are a few areas that only have the letter as the town/county is small enough. My family, years ago, went on a puddle jumper & flew over the Red Fish Lake area. There were so many lakes “hidden” among the mountains. Enjoy your stay and glad Polly’s rehab is going well! Have fun exploring!
Liz-Boise, ID
Good tip. I’ll have fun checking out the different counties now.
Nina
Too bad the RV sites are so tight. We find ski resorts have gotten out of hand as far as activities ( golf, zip lines, mountain coasters, alpine slides, scenic chair lift rides, ropes coarse….). I guess there are enough 1% ers to keep money coming in.
I hear you on that. Paul thought he might do some golfing here, but it’s pretty darn pricey. Thankfully there’s lots of free hiking and biking in the area.
Nina
Yep, right across the mountains at Mackay, ID…
Beautiful riding back in the hills there…
Fun..
Great writeup, Nina. Are you going to stay at the RV park, or are you considering moving out to a boondocking location?
We’re staying at the RV park for the month. The boondocking sites have 16 day stay limits and we weren’t sure what they were going to be like (or whether “the beast” would fit) before we came, so we pre-paid for a month spot. Also the RV park is less than 1/4 mile from Polly’s rehab, so there is that advantage too. It’s not ideal, but it’s great for the dog and as long as we keep getting out everyday I think we’ll be ok.
Nina
Your photo’s are awesome!
Love the rainbow the best, I think. I enjoyed that area a few years back and have hope to return. You did a great job of describing an off season ski town ( we just got back from ten nights in Steam Boat Colorado ). Heaven and great food and beer and nice free concerts and trails.
Did you know you are very close to the most nuclear reactors in one place in the USA? Just South of you near ARCO ( first city powered by nuclear power ) is the US Nuclear Test Facility. It is safe and all that, there is a museum EBR I and ARCO has a tiny yet informative private one. Both are free and close to Craters of the Moon for a day trip activity.
Enjoy the nice weather and food and beer and hikes and concerts and I will just be wishing I was there.
We’ve yet to visit Steamboat Springs, CO but have quite a few RV friends that love the area. Maybe one day…
I can’t deny the nice trails, eateries, brews and music make this place an attractive visit. I don’t think I could live here (I like my towns to have a tad more “grit”), but I am enjoying the visit.
Nina
Hi Nina. Kevin (and Nori) here again. Your first impressions are absolutely spot on, and you touched on two of the main reasons we prefer the Sawtooth area over virtually every other summer mountain setting–the weather and relative lack of tourist jams. I could suggest a dozen activities, but I have a strong suspicion you’ll find them quite well on your own.
Regarding the gazillion dollar homes, about ten years ago Nori, our then 12-year old daughter Allanah and I took a bike ride through a particularly posh neighborhood and went in a couple of open houses realtors had on the market. We learned that they were not second homes, but third and fourth homes of the sellers, used a month or so each year! What an odd, strange culture of “more” we live in…
Enjoy your stay. I hope Polly’s rehab goes well. Cheers, Kevin
Wow…third or fourth homes! Its kinda shocking to think about, but I guess I can imagine it given how upscale this place is. As an aside, I checked to see if anyone in this area was on Boondockers Welcome before we came (there’s certainly enough land for it), but I don’t think the local owners want pesky RVers on their property 🙂 Some of these properties would make for a pretty sweet parking spot though.
Nina
Ah Kevin, yes about the 3rd and 4th homes. I live next to a condo bldg in St. Monica, CA. The residents bought these $1-million condos. These condos are not in a $1-million neighborhood, but they are desperate to get away from their 1st homes, which are TWENTY MILES UP THE COAST IN MALIBU!!
If you travel over to hwy 93 you will find Joe T. Fallini campground on the Mackay Lake, excellent campground 50 amp/ water and a dump station. I think it’s a BLM campgroound 15.00 per night. Safe Travels.
Yah, I’m there now…
Very nice…
$5 night for basic with the “Ole Geezer Pass”… $4 more for electric…. very nicely set up and fairly new..
Pic, right on the lake…

Gorgeous! Cheers for the link and info. That’s definitely our kinda campground.
Nina
Wow, one of my commenters did suggest this area and now I can say why. Glad you enjoyed it and we get to get a peak of this gorgeous spot. But now that you have “discovered” it won’t be long and your friends will be heading that way, which may include us 🙂
It’s definitely a “hidden gem” up here. No way we would have discovered it (I think) without Polly’s surgery & subsequent rehab. Sometimes the difficult passages in life lead to unexpected good passages.
Nina
You are the masters at finding the lovely and adventurous in almost every place – and we’ve agreed with every place we’ve “followed” you to this last year 🙂 Your photos are stunning and I’m really surprised at the lack of RV parks in such a beautiful place.
I’m kinda surprised there aren’t more RV Parks either. That said, there are lots of Forest Service campgrounds around, although stay limits are quite short (most are 10 day limits, although some are merely 6 days). If we only needed a short stay, that would be a good option but since we needed to be here for the month (for doggie) that just didn’t cut it.
Nina
We loved the Sawtooth mountains, and I would really like to spend more time in Stanley. We were kinda disappointed in Ketchum. I was expecting big mountains there, and they really aren’t. The downtown area is nice, like you said. That general part of Idaho is very pretty. Some of the nicest canyons I’ve seen.
Yeah I kinda thought there would be bigger mountains around Ketchum too. The hills are very pretty here, but nothing like the huge 10,000 ft peaks over the summit in Stanley. We’re really at the foothills of the Sawtooth Range in Sun Valley.
Nina
Love your overview and that is a stretch of highway I have yet to explore. Based on your pics and writing I think I will get it added to the list! Between you and Becky I’m jealous! Hope you weren’t frozen out the past few days and that Polly is doing well in her rehab!
It’s not been bad at all. Morning temps have been going down to ~44, but it’s been warming up to 75 or more during the day. Those are ideal ranges for me 🙂
Nina
Great overview. We have visited the area a few times and you nailed it! Love your shot of Stanley. Glad to hear Polly is doing well.
Welcome to Idaho and glad you are enjoying our wonderful state. P.S. we do try to keep this part of the world a secret and to our self’s but on the other hand we are proud to show it off also.
I’ll try not to gush tooooo much 🙂 It’s kinda hard though.
Nina
As a 25+ year resident of Aspen frim early 70’s to late 90’s, I know exactly what you mean when you mention $10 beers and $20 hamburgers. Ketchum sounds like they have maybe resisted Dior, etc. and that is good. I have been back to Aspen a few times since then and have no desire to go back to it anymore. Just too ritzy. But now I really want see Ketchum!
We took a day-trip to Aspen in 2010 and definitely have no urge to go back there. Waaaaay to ritzy. Ketchum has nowhere near that kind of ritz, thankfully. It’s still gentrified, but not to extremes, at least not yet. I think you’d like it.
Nina
Great post update–We are newbies here and love it !! We also noticed that “The secret it out” people are discovering just how fantastic Idaho is and more and more are relocating here. The locals are super nice (until they find out you are from Ca) LOL !! There are so many pros about this state, I enjoy watching you discover them and blogging about it.It reminds me why we love it.(Only thing I miss is the cultural diversity )
Interestingly enough I’ve had 2 fulltime RV friends who recently came off the road and settled in Idaho. I think the secret is definitely getting out.
Nina
I knew you would enjoy the area, once you got away from the glitz. Growing up in the 50s and 60s in Arco, this area was our playground. At that time, there were no huge vacation homes of the rich and famous. Just a sleepy little ski town and wonderful hot springs, with peddle bottom and wood sides where I first learned to swim. I might be bias, but I think Idaho is truly the “Gem State” by any definition.
I would have loved to see this place before it became a rich getaway. There’s still a lot of hidden stuff to be discovered (thankfully the wilderness areas are preserved for public use), but it must have been even more special before the valley was developed like it is today.
Nina
Thanks for the memories. I’ve never made it to Sun Valley but have been able to get to Colorado and Wyoming a few times. Wonderful country in my estimation. Your photographs are exceptional. Did you use the GX7 only or were some of the landscapes done the D750 ? Have a great stay in Sun Valley.
Most of the shots in this post were taken with the big D750. I did use the G7X for the biking and hiking shots though.
Nina
I noticed that you deleted my campfire grill post a while back. At that time you also banned me from posting here on the home computer. So what was so terrible about that post to get me banned from posting on here? I only posted factual material and was trying to help a person to either roast marshmallows, make smores, or he could hit cook some hot dogs or hamburgers using the campfire grill.
This is almost as bad as another RV blog deleting 3 of my posts. One was how to eat in a non motorhome RV while driving (did this when I even went camping before marriage). Another one stated a 1,500 CCC per person for a couple was nonsense by them as well. Well, I then posted that they were at 1,615 CCC per person so they let that post stand.
Yes, I’ve learned a lot through research. I saw that I made a major mistake on the tow vehicle for a travel trailer though as I forget to put the vehicle’s own weight to be included in the tow vehicle’s GVWR. So I will need a bigger tow vehicle than I had anticipated.
Earlier though I had nice bargain on some solar panels from a company so people could make their own decisions on that. This is when I learned that I was banned on here.
It makes me wonder whether I should even be posting on any RV blog since it seems like the bloggers like to delete or ban people over nothing.
Can’t recall deleting your posts, but apologize if I did. All new commenters go through initial approval which means WordPress holds the comments in a separate place and if I don’t see them right away I often lose them. It’s a manual thing, so I don’t get it perfect (most of the time). Haven’t banned you either…just haven’t approved. So, feel free to go back and add comments. You should go through now that I have seen and approved you once.
I don’t delete comments unless they get political, controversial or are nasty. Those are my criteria. I only outright ban folks that have harassed or threatened me personally (which has happened, sadly).
Nina
By the way the manual approval of new commenters is a common security block that most blogs have. If you’re not seeing your comments on some other blogs that may be the reason too. Just speculating of course….
Nina
Checkout Bonneville Hot Springs and Grandjean….Day pass required for Bonneville if not camping…I’m 45′ overall and I fit in some of the spots..Geezer Pass..cheap..
Grandjean has a lodge with a pool and great pies…There are free pools before the lodge..Don’t take your “Beastie” down that road…Washboard takes on a new meaning…
David
If you build a 30 mile bike path, they will come…
Sun Valley stole our hearts once upon a time. Too bad it was/is so expensive (sigh).
Box Canyon Mark
Totally with you.
Nina
Thanks for the beautiful pictures, and a new location to add to our list of must-see’s. Looks like a great place to visit, if not live (I, too, have a fear of slipping!)
Nina Welcome to our home!!! We have followed your blog for well over 3 years and it has been a wealth of information. When I saw your post about bringing your dog here while we were on the Oregon Coast in our camper, I couldn’t believe it. Randy and Sue are good friends of ours and the best of people as well as excellence in Vet care. Now you are here! We would love to have you down to dinner this weekend to thank you for how much you’ve helped us over the years. We live in Hailey. Please give me a call. Charlene Malone 208 720-7238. I feel like I know about you but since we are strangers to you, look at our airbnb site for Hailey, Idaho “Comforts of Home in Charming Hailey” and it will give you a good introduction to us! Hope to hear from you.
How lovely! Yes we’d love to meet you. We have plans on Fri, but can do Sunday if that works for you. I will call you.
Nina
It was so awesome to actually meet you. Thanks for the tip about High West Distillery in Park City. Last night I enjoyed a flight of whisky, a burger, and the grilled Krispy Kreme donut with vanilla ice cream and whisky caramel sauce. It was heavenly! I also thought about doing the Tetons, but that will have to wait until another time. So much to see and not enough time. Anyway, everything you say in your post is so true… about Stanley, Ketchum, the RV park, how I need three jobs to live there… I will be back, but next time I will spend more time to see the Sawtooth Mountains and perhaps boon dock. Maybe by then hubby and I will be more comfortable with the whole RV thing. In the meantime, my journey continues. Just pulled into Durango today. Enjoy your time in Ketchum! I’m certainly envious of the time you are able to spend there.
Awesome! Continued good travels to you!
Nina
Idaho is a state we have not explored much, but given our love of the mountains and Montana and Wyoming, I’m sure we would love Idaho. As for skiing, I have done very little either, blaming it on the feeling of not being in control. I don’t even enjoy hiking down steep, rocky slopes. That sound of sliding on the rocks always sends chills down my spine.
That’s exactly how I feel about sliding! And I get the same fear on slippery hiking trails. I think I would enjoy cross-country skiing or snow-shoeing, but downhill will never be my thing.
Nina
I’m back at the local library since I picked up another book today. The post above was done at the local library. I went home after my first post and then noticed that you did respond twice. That night I tried 3 – 4 times to post again, but it wouldn’t go through. I could tell that the library post would go through if you gave approval, but the home computer doesn’t go to the next stage where it says pending approval. I still can post on my high school football forums, political blogs, Facebook, and even the Detroit News website through Facebook (although I’ve been posting there less). So it is only your blog where I have the trouble posting from home. I can only tell you what happens and what I see on the home computer.
Hopefully after I get done reading this book, someone donated the 2016 Mobile Internet Connection book to a Michigan public library. or try next year for that one as I am afraid that the high school football season will be upon me in August.
I was thinking that if I full time RV to maybe get a personalized travel trailer done by Travel Units complete with a washer/dryer and give up the generator since the washer/dryer will be used more. It will depend on how much everything weighs though, which I will try to calculate out next year for the RV. I still have to add in the library (books and maps), photography equipment (want to purchase some new equipment for easier access to download the pictures), and picnic equipment for the tow vehicle but do have 17 out of 20 items on my wish list done so far.
Honestly not sure what’s going on with the home computer commenting, but WordPress sometimes acts in ways I don’t understand. I’ve had a few WP blogs that I couldn’t comment on in the past.
Washed/dryer is a nice addition. We use ours a lot even though we boondock and dry camp quite a bit too. I’m not a big fan of laundromats so whenever we have hookups it’s great to be able to do laundry in the rig.
Nina
If you’re interested in learning more about the history of the Ketchum/Twin Falls area, I highly recommend visiting the Minidoka Internment camp national monument. It is north and east of Twin Falls not far from Jerome in a practically nonexistent town called Hunt. There’s a terrific little memorial and the remnants of the camp where several thousand Japanese-Americans were held during WWII. I found it to be hauntingly beautiful and a worthwhile history lesson.
I had no idea there were internment camps here. We’ve visited the one in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountais (Manzanar) a few times and it’s both moving and emotional. If we get the chance we’ll visit the one here.
Nina
It’s been so much fun hanging out in Sun Valley with you two! I’m going to be sad to leave on Monday but I’m sure our paths will cross again someday. 🙂
I missed this post somehow!
The Idaho Nationel Labratory also boasts (secretly of course) the only full size submarine in the desert. I learned this in 1992 because there were a lot of Navy submariners stationed there learning Nuclear something or other.
Security is tight there but the Museum mentioned in an earlier post is something to see too!
Great pics as usual. Heading to Idaho Falls end of July for family gathering and a whitewater trip down the Salmon River. Then a wedding in September too. Can’t wait – I love Idaho!
P.s. Watch out for 1J and 1B license plates (Jefferson and Bonnevilee counties respectively). Everyone said 1J drivers were the worst in Idaho. I don’t agree but my 1J plates always seemed to have people on sidewalks looking scared as I drove by 🙂
Cool stuff!! We drove through Arco last year, but didn’t stop for the Nuclear Facility. Saw it in passing and found out about it later from blog readers and friends. I definitely want to go back and do the tour!
Nina
Glad you guys are enjoying Idaho–and so glad the weather is cooperating! We moved down out of the rain forest today–thank goodness–and are now in Grangeville, Idaho.
