Mountains in the winter, rivers in the summer

Our kids are all pretty lucky to grow up in Sun Valley. I guess that means that we, as adults, as just as lucky. We have great mountains for winter sports and the summer leaves us with plenty of hiking, biking, lakes and refreshing rivers.

To make us even luckier....we have two rivers to enjoy right in our backyards (or within biking distance).  The Big Wood River which runs throughout our entire valley is a great river for fly fishing or just taking the kids and dogs for some water play time.  Our favorite location to play is right off of the Broadford Loop down in Bellevue. There is sun, sand and plenty of space for everyone.

Our newest favorite river is the East Fork River.  This is a much smaller river that has plenty of lush green stuff all around. We can explore around the river for hours with the kids and dogs.  Sometimes, when we are really brave, we will actually get more than our legs wet. I just love my kids fully appreciating nature and getting a kick over climbing big rocks and trees.

I don't think we could ask for a better place to raise our children!
