VIEW SUN VALLEY CAMERAS →Sun Valley, Idaho is America's first destination ski resort — founded in 1936 by Averell Harriman and the Union Pacific Railroad. The world's first chairlift opened here that same year. Located in Idaho's Blaine County in the Wood River Valley, Sun Valley encompasses the resort itself plus the nearby towns of Ketchum, Hailey, Bellevue, and the Elkhorn development. Primary highway access is via Idaho State Route 75 from I-84 Exit 182 (Bliss) via US-20 / US-26 — approximately 80 miles.

Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) in Hailey is the most convenient access — direct seasonal flights from Seattle, Salt Lake City, Denver, LA, Chicago, and others. For drivers, the 80-mile SR-75 drive from I-84 is generally quick outside peak weekend hours, but winter storms on SR-75 Galena Summit (north of Sun Valley toward Stanley) can close the road episodically. Use 511 Idaho cameras to verify conditions.
For Salt Lake City drivers, SR-75 via I-84 Bliss is about 4.5 hours — shorter than many Colorado ski destinations from Denver.
