Mountain Magazine takes the Inside Line to singletrack, trail running, fly fishing, nightlife, culture, and one wild, open air ice show here in Sun Valley. “I tell my friends who run, bike, hike, fish, and think, that Sun Valley is the cure. Even in the height of summer its rivers and trails aren’t overrun. Stop for a rest and all you hear is nature. Paths wind on forever in a rolling grassy landscape reminiscent of Tolkien’s Rohan. The average high temperature is 82-degrees in summer, but it feels like 76-degrees. You don’t have to make dinner reservations. And if the mood strikes you, the family can watch an ice show or classical performance by starlight. The resort offers all the lodging and spa amenities you’d need for a plush experience. And to cap it all off, there’s still free camping in Idaho. It’s not otherworldly so much as it’s a world without others.” Read the full piece here: http://www.mountainonline.com/stories/sun-valley/
