Description of the Location:
Ketchum, Idaho, is a mountain town nestled in the Wood River Valley, framed by the Sawtooth Mountains and the legacy of Sun Valley’s alpine charm. The town blends rugged outdoor adventure with refined culture, where hikers, skiers, and artists share the same vibrant streets lined with galleries, cafés, and historic lodges. In every season, golden light, crisp air, and quiet wilderness trails create a sense of timeless beauty that lingers long after leaving this high mountain retreat in Ketchum today.
