Experience four-season RV travel in Sun Valley, Idaho, where mountain adventure meets small-town rhythm beneath the towering Sawtooth Mountains. In this episode, we roll into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic basecamps for RVers and explore why Sun Valley is a year-round destination worth returning to again and again.From sunrise over Bald Mountain to golden evenings under wide Idaho skies, you’ll discover what makes this valley feel cinematic in every season. Winter brings world-class skiing and snowboarding on Bald Mountain, quiet campgrounds, and crisp alpine air. Spring opens rushing rivers and uncrowded trails. Summer stretches long with biking the Wood River Trail, fly fishing on Silver Creek, hiking high ridgelines, and outdoor concerts. Fall delivers glowing aspens, cool mornings, and fewer crowds for a slower, more intentional RV experience.We also cover practical insights for RV travelers, including campground access, scenic drives, seasonal planning tips, and how to balance outdoor adventure with time exploring nearby Ketchum.
