This June is really shaping up to be one of the best yet – the snow line is slowly receding, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to gain more and more altitude on the trails; the hillsides are now covered with lupine, making the valley look and smell wonderful (May showers brings June flowers…?); and the rivers are filling up from the freshly melted snow, allowing anglers to enjoy all that our water systems have to offer. We have also been granted with amazing weather, getting us excited for all of the events happening this summer.
With Fourth of July right around the corner, the population of the Wood River Valley is about to surge with visitors excited to spend time in one of the most beautiful places on earth; and rightfully so.

Top Five Ways To Get The Most Out Of A Sun Valley Independence Day

1. Get started early – With so many activities, you’re going to need all the daylight that you can get. FYI: Sunrise on July 4, 2018 is at 6:01 am and sunset will be at 9:22.

2. Take a hike – Really. Whether you go up north or stay right here in town, there are great options to get your heart pumping and take in beautiful views before a social afternoon.

3. Check out Hailey’s Days of the Old West Rodeo if you haven’t before. Details here.

4. Barbecue – It’s a timeless tradition for a reason. What better way to enjoy friends and family than over a grill with burgers, dogs, and beer.

5. Fireworks – no independence day is complete without them! Head to Penny Hill on your cruisers (don’t forget blankets and your layers) and enjoy the show.
