SUN VALLEY, Idaho – Online registration will soon open for the 47th Annual Baldy Hill Climb, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 27. For the past 46 years, come rain, sun, or even snow, runners and hikers have made their way up Bald Mountain in support of Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF) cross country programming. Organized by the SVSEF Cross Country Ski Teams, the course challenges participants to a grueling 1.86 miles and 3,140 vertical feet—straight up from the bottom of Warm Springs to the summit of Bald Mountain at 9,020 feet. All participants receive a collectible event t-shirt and a refuel at the summit aid station. In addition, and in partnership with Sun Valley Company, participants receive a much-deserved ride down on the Challenger Lift after they finish. There are a variety of registration categories: Race Class: The original competitive and timed option for those looking to challenge themselves to push for their best pace. This category will be presented with awards (and bragging rights!). For those who are in less of a hurry you can register in the Hike Class which is a timed, non-competitive category emphasizing fun and adventure. Families are also encouraged to join …

Perseid-Palooza 2025
The Idaho Dark Sky Alliance (IDSA) is hosting an evening to unplug, look up and discover the wonders of the night sky. IDSA’s third annual Perseid-Palooza! begins at 9:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 13, at Sawtooth Botanical Garden. Local astronomers and astronomy students from the BSU AstroTAC program will lead viewers on a cosmic tour including the Perseid meteor shower, deep sky objects, summer constellations and the waning gibbous moon. The event will offer meteor watching and telescope observing, plus kid’s astro-activities. IDSA will also have information about their efforts to reduce light pollution and preserve our breathtaking views of the night sky. The peak nights for the Perseids are August 12-13. The best time to see meteors is between midnight and dawn but viewing times will be trickier this year due to a bright full moon on August 9. To enhance your viewing experience, you might want to bring a comfy chair or blanket to stretch out on. And don’t forget to grab a coat to stay warm. Perseid-Palooza! 2025 is co-sponsored by the Idaho Dark Sky Alliance, the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, and Boise State University. The Garden is located at 11 Gimlet Road, off of Hwy. 75 south of …
