About
Tucked in the Rocky Mountains of south-central Idaho in the shadow of Sun Valley resort, Ketchum sprang forth in the late 1800s as a silver mining town. It still exudes Old West charms with cabin-style shops and historic buildings, but today it's mostly known as a place where residents are obsessed with the outdoors. With a stunning backdrop of towering peaks that rise into bright blue skies, pristine streams offering blue-ribbon trout fishing, and endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking and skiing, it's not surprising. Numerous bars and eateries fill Ketchum’s Main Street, including venues for enjoying traditional regional dishes like bison and elk. Annual Wagon Days in early September brings the largest non-motorized parade in the Pacific Northwest to Main Street. It comes complete with marching bands, Basque dancers, western cowboys, wheels and wagons, concluding with a Street Party on Town Square.
