Maybe nowhere else is this more self-evident than in Sun Valley, with its combination of incredible natural beauty and modern diversions that together create something truly special. There’s skiing in winter, white-water rafting in summer, and a collection of shops, restaurants, hot springs, and expansive mountain ranges for the rest of the year—not too bad for a state predominantly associated with root vegetables.    ![Pettit Lake in Sun Valley, Idaho](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sv4_1360x.jpg?width=1143&name=sv4_1360x.jpg "Pettit Lake in Sun Valley, Idaho") With more natural hot springs than any other state, Idaho is heaven for wellness enthusiasts. Sun Valley’s isolated yet open resplendence makes it the best place to try them out, and with an amazing [spa](https://www.sunvalley.com/the-spa) located right at its namesake resort, the tranquility doesn’t have to end outdoors. Further north, there’s Pettit Lake, often frequented by tastemakers and always bursting with blue sky and rocky vistas; make a day trip there for afternoon boating (and of course, more hot springs).    ![Hills of Sun Valley, Idaho](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sv2_1360x.jpg?width=1143&name=sv2_1360x.jpg "Hills of Sun Valley, Idaho") Back in the Sun Valley area, get a cinnamon roll at [Stanley Baking Co.](http://stanleybakingco.com) before hitting up vintage shops like Gold Mine or Maude’s: the former has an impressive stockpile of high-end ski gear, while the well-curated latter is also a coffee shop. But if boutiques are more your thing, [Elle Rose](http://www.ellerosesv.com) should be on your radar, with designer and contemporary sides to appeal to all. Stop at Rickshaw for dinner, a tiny restaurant where light and healthy southeast Asian dishes abound, or enjoy live music outdoors at the [Sawtooth Hotel](http://sawtoothhotel.com) (owned by the same family as Stanley Baking). Hemingway spent the final years of his life in this part of Idaho, and it’s where he wrote *The Garden of Eden*—if there’s a more fitting pseudonym for Sun Valley, we haven’t found it. Bring along our Sling Backpack on your next trip to paradise.  ![Lotuff Leather Sling Backpack in black](https://blog.lotuffleather.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ss.jpg?width=1143&name=ss.jpg "Lotuff Leather Sling Backpack in black")   [Shop the Sling](https://lotuffleather.com/collections/womens-backpacks/products/the-sling-backpack?variant=1398405252)   ## **Eat Here**  **Stanley Baking Co. **250 Wall St, Stanley, ID 83278   [(208) 774-6573](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&ei=KW6gWr2bJuGi_QbtmKQQ&q=stanley+baking+xo&oq=stanley+baking+xo&gs_l=psy-ab.3..33i160k1.54394.56929.0.57031.19.17.1.0.0.0.207.2485.0j14j2.16.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..2.17.2523...0j0i67k1j0i46i67k1j46i67k1j0i131i67k1j0i131k1j0i22i30k1j0i13k1j0i13i30k1.0.wkAFIWtg8_c#) [stanleybakingco.com](http://stanleybakingco.com)     **Rickshaw** 460 Washington Ave, Ketchum, ID 83340   [(208) 726-8481](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&ei=5G6gWvqrDuOhgge_pLqQAQ&q=rickshaw+sun+valley&oq=rickshaw+sun+valley&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0.96667.99115.0.99265.19.18.0.0.0.0.165.1761.11j6.17.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..2.17.1759...0i67k1j0i131k1j0i131i67k1j0i22i30k1.0.-jLFK7glsqo#) [eat-at-rickshaw.com](http://eat-at-rickshaw.com)       ## **Go Here** **The Spa at Sun Valley** 1 Sun Valley Rd, Sun Valley, ID 83353   [(208) 622-2160](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=sun+valley+spa&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#) [sunvalley.com/the-spa](http://sunvalley.com/the-spa)     **Maude's** 391 Walnut Ave, Ketchum, ID 83340   [(208) 726-6413](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&ei=lW6gWsviJMWm_Qaak5ywCA&q=maudes+sun+valley&oq=maudes+sun+valley&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i10k1.4833.6313.0.6500.17.13.0.0.0.0.193.1796.0j12.12.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..5.12.1794...0j46j0i67k1j0i131k1j0i46k1j0i22i10i30k1j0i22i30k1.0.cLzzsiArTy8#)     **Elle Rose** 641 Sun Valley Rd, Ketchum, ID 83340   [(208) 726-8871](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&ei=nW6gWtb2BaSe_Qag3Z-ABA&q=elle+rose+sun+valley&oq=elle+rose+sun+valley&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l2j0i22i30k1l2.68775.70303.0.70428.20.15.0.0.0.0.211.2291.1j11j2.14.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..6.14.2288...46j0i131k1j0i131i46k1j46i131k1j0i67k1j0i46k1j0i10k1j0i22i10i30k1.0.ftKtQuvf6FY#) [ellerosesv.com](http://ellerosesv.com)       ## **Stay Here** **Sawtooth Hotel **755 Ace of Diamonds St, Stanley, ID 83278   [(208) 721-2459](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&ei=SG-gWt2KDsiMggfun4K4CQ&q=sawtooth+hotel+sun+valley&oq=sawtooth+hotel+sun+valley&gs_l=psy-ab.12...0.0.1.123.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1..64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.zRJtzf01kEM#) [sawtoothhotel.com](http://sawtoothhotel.com)   ### Subscribe to Our Blog ### Leave a Comment ### Posts by Topic -
