The spirit of Sun Valley is calling you Stay Sunny. We are asking you to help us preserve what we love, to help each other better understand how things are done here in the Valley.  We're not here to humiliate or belittle. That’s not who we are. Instead, we're here use humor and charm to build awareness. It's a reminder folks that if you’re kind and play by the rules, we’ll welcome you into the family. And if you don’t, you’ll likely be on the next horse out of town. Really, it’s your choice. We hope you make the right one

• Sun Valley is a place rooted in smiling faces and welcoming spirits. We strive to treat everyone kindly and be understanding of their circumstances. If you are here for a visit, know that we will do everything we can to care for you while you are here and hope that, in turn, you’ll care for this place by doing what’s right to keep yourself and others healthy.
• Our outdoor spaces provide us with opportunities to roam, adventure, learn, and rejuvenate. But the infrastructure that provides access to many of these places may be tested. Be cognizant of the high usage areas, stay patient, and remember to share.  If you’re in the know, go to the less frequented spots.
• Knowledge is power and being informed can bring about the best possible experience. While we may have common-sense ideas of how things should be done, they may not always translate to the accepted way of doing things. Take a minute to learn about simple unknowns ranging from trail etiquette to proper disposal of your dog’s business. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask a stranger, ask a friend or find a guide to show you the way. We’re all here to be a resource of information to keep those faces smiling.
• Be Trail Kind: No matter our differences in backgrounds or how we choose to enjoy the great outdoors, trails create common ground that connects us. Access to trails is a privilege we acknowledge and can only safeguard through our actions toward one another. Treating each other with kindness in how we share the trails and interact with each other is more important than it has ever been. Everyone deserves to pursue happiness in nature. Let’s rise together to ensure a positive trail experience for all.

Rise to the occasion and commit to patience, kindness, understanding, and knowledge as we continue to adapt to this new way of living mindfully in the mountains. Stay Sunny.
