Stay
Sun Valley Lodge
Sun Valley Lodge, built in 1936 in an inspiring setting surrounded by the Sawtooth Mountains, is the archetypal American ski hostelry — and the place where Hemingway finished For Whom the Bell Tolls (Suite 206).
Eat
Roosevelt Grille
Chowing down on Idaho lamb, baby back ribs, or a flatiron steak on the Roosevelt Grille’s rooftop deck is a quintessential Ketchum experience.
Outfitter
Silver Creek Outfitters
Sun Valley is surrounded by trout streams, including the Big Wood, the Salmon, and legendary Silver Creek. Silver Creek Outfitters guides them all.
