We offer guests new ways to explore Ketchum and Sun Valley with E-bikes or mountain bikes that can be delivered or picked-up at our Main St. location and we can work on any bike with full service and repair shop. We also offer Jeep and paddle board rentals, allowing guests to take their adventures beyond Blaine County. Whether it’s paddleboarding on Alturas Lake, catching sunset from the top of Galena Pass, or effortlessly cruising between the symphony and dinner; Black Tie has you covered!

Payette River Company

PAYETTE RIVER COMPANY — LOWMAN, IDAHO The closest overnight rafting trip to Sun Valley. Just 2 hours away. Heading out of Sun Valley for a day on the river? Payette River Company runs guided whitewater trips on the South Fork of the Payette River, outside Lowman, Idaho. Owners, Sean and Ginger Glaccum, are both native Idahoans who have been running this operation since 2006 — Ginger makes sure you know exactly what to expect before you ever leave home, and Sean is on the water with you as safety kayaker or guide, and in camp as host! What makes the South Fork special: it’s reservoir-fed, which means consistent water levels even in a low water year. While rivers elsewhere are running thin, the Canyon section is still flowing strong all summer — 25 named Class III and IV rapids through a stunning granite canyon. It’s one of the most reliable stretches of whitewater in Idaho this season. And hot springs on every single section. No matter which trip you pick, a soak is built into the day. TRIPS INCLUDE: Half-Day Kirkham Hot Springs — Class II-III, hot springs, rock jumping. Ages 5+. Full-Day Kirkham — Family-friendly full day with swimming, …
