On our last day we took a great trip east from Ketchum up Sun Valley Road, crossing through the Sawtooth and Challis national forests on our way to Wildhorse Rd and a lovely walk up to a waterfall. We had grabbed sandwiches for the road and picnicked at the falls. Unusually, this trail is handicapped accessible -- smooth and easy the whole way -- and a lovely deck at the end. We spoke with some locals at the end and they talked about how challenging it had been to get the trail level and told some stories about folks who had used the trail that they new about. It's the most remote, wildest, accessible trail we had ever seen -- and very cool.
Back in town, we dropped Suzy off for a massage and the rest of us toured about Ketchum, wrapping up dinner shoppings. We had agreed to give Suz the night off -- and our menu was cedar planked salmon, sauteed squash, tomato basil salad (with tomatoes from our garden!), and rice, plus gingerbread (courtesy of Suzy).
Tomorrow we head back to Atlanta and back to school weekend -- one week away. Talk about a juxtaposition.
