Nice camp spot at Farewell Bend SP.  Got on camp early so we got a nice pull through ❤️

Day 33- Oct 20, 2016:Sun Valley/ Ketchum, ID

Heading up early to Sun Valley area for the day😊

Pretty sweet scenery😊

Oh, oh, looks like too much snow for our possible hike at Redfish Lake. 

Sawtooth Valley. ❄️❄️❄️❄️. Quite cold & windy also. 

Much better choice near Ketchum❤️

Fox Creek trail head. 

Still some great Fall colors. 

 

Much nicer track, trail a bit muddy from snow melt. 

Back to parking lot trail head. Nice way to spend the morning.
