Day 4: Rest Day Hailey

Wildflower Hike

Susan fixes us a nice breakfast. We did laundry yesterday, so we have a relaxing morning before meeting up with Susan's friends to take a wildflower hike on the Root trail. We passed this trailhead on our way into Ketchum yesterday.

After the hike, Susan gives us a tour of Sun Valley. And we have Thai for dinner.

Enjoy the photos of all the wildflowers. (Bill Shaneyfelt)

Susan's hiking group. They hike on Tuesday mornings.
