Sun Valley, Idaho. Most people have heard about it, why because it was the first ski resort in America to offer a chairlift up a mountain – the year was 1936! Today Sun Valley covers nearly 1,500 square miles and is considered one of America’s best biking, hiking, fishing and skiing destinations, add three sensational golf courses and a 18 hole putting course . . . equals one amazing adventurous outdoor paradise. Sun Valley Lodge opened its doors just before Christmas 1936 at a cost of $1.5 million. By September 1939, the world famous author Earnest Hemingway was ensconced in Suite 206 there – one of many famous faces including the leading Hollywood legends of the day that added star power to publicize the property. Today, more stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood and many other celebrities often call this place home for part of the year. Go to: www.sunvalley.com
