Summer Adventure Tours

Guided adventure tours offer visitors a chance to safely experience the thrill of whitewater rafting, horseback riding, fly fishing, hunting and paragliding. In the summer months, many Sun Valley ski guides and ski instructors take up rock climbing and mountaineering, and offer lessons and guided tours of Baldy and neighboring mountains. A fair number of Sun Valley tour operators offer picnic lunches and full-blown Western BBQ's with their full-day packages. With more outfitters in town than you can shake a hiking stick at, you just have to shop around to find one that fits your interests.
