Sun Valley

[ree ree robusto]

I just booked my first vacation of the summer to Sun Valley Idaho. Has anybody visted? What do you think about the place?

My plans so far are: fly fishing, white water rafting, and golfing.

Sounds like a nice getaway Ree. I've never been up there but I hear it's beautiful country. Let us know how it goes!

Fly fishing at sunrise, then to the links until mid afternoon, then some rafting, then some more flythrowing until dark...Nice daily schedule. :thumbs:

Hey Ree, you are in for a treat. :thumbs:

Very nice place to play, tho I've never been there in the summer. Just in the winter, during ski season.

If you make it down to Boise, gimme a holler.

I, actually fly into Boise. How long is the drive to Sun Valley, Hawk?

Its roughly 150 miles. Not the prettiest drive until you get up near Ketchum and Hailey area. I was just up there about a month ago for the first time. I am native to Boise, but that was the first time I had gone up there. It is world class for fishing and rafting. I saw the links while I was there and they aren't bad, though not the best in the area. You should have a good time, provided you have good sticks with ya!!

As KC said, it's about 150 miles from Boise. The drive should take just a tad over 3 hours.

150 miles in three hours???? What, you let grandma drive?

I was being less than conservative...

Mapquest says the trip from Boise to Sun Valley is 158.5 miles and should take you 3 hours and 33 minutes! But Mapquest is typically at the speed limit, so I shaved off a half hour.

Ree, you've probably already scoped it out, but here's a decent link for the Sun Valley area.
