July News & Updates
Top Five Ways To Do It All In July
With a month chock-full of activities, it takes a little strategy to get it all done.
1. Start your day early. The key is to do your outdoor recreating while it’s still cool.
2. Cool off. We have some amazing water holes to jump in here and nothing cools you down like a brisk swim in the river!
3. Hydrate + Nourish. Whether you’re a Grumpy’s burger-and-a-schooner kind of guy or gal or you hit up Bigwood Bread for a Fresh Bowl and some Perrier, it’s important to make sure you have enough calories to keep up your energy!
4. Hit the Town. Whether you’re off to the Wine Auction’s Vine & Dine, Ketch’em Alive, or a Concert at River Run put on your favorite Ketchum casual party attire, get out your cruiser, and bring some layers!
5. Can you say “After Party”? Who wants to go straight home after that much fun? Head to the Warfield rooftop or the Hailey Mint’s patio for a good-old-fashioned nightcap while you watch the sunset.
