Sun Valley and Ketchum, ID

We crossed into Idaho around 4pm.

What we saw was mostly desert. There are some mountainous regions with respectable sized trees, although we were definitely not expecting dry desert conditions in Idaho and were very surprised.





George wanted to see Sun Valley so we headed in that direction. Sun Valley, Hailey, and Ketchum are all very close together. Ketchum is also where Ernest Hemingway lived the last years of his life, and committed suicide there in his home in 1961. Here are some pictures of the Ernest Hemingway Memorial and his grave in the Ketchum Cemetery, as well as some photos of the town of Sun Valley and Ketchum. 
















While visiting the area we camped for two nights in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in a dispersed campsite along Baker Creek.
