summer 2001 : about

photo by Todd Kaplan

editor's note

There is a moment, early in childhood, when we first sense that time has no place in our lives. The sun-washed days open up and freedom courses through us. It is at that instant that the spirit of summer first inhabits us.

To feel awash in summer is to experience life in full bloom. It is to feel reconnected to the outdoors—whether it be skating, hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, kayaking or just fluttering around at the edge of a lake. Once again we are a part of the big, glorious world. In summer we run like children do, not because we are in a hurry, but for the sheer joy of it, to feel the rush of air against our skin.

The cliché about the Wood River Valley is that it’s filled with people who refuse to grow up, a Never Land of sorts. Perhaps, more accurately, this valley attracts people who have grown up and, smack in the middle of their adult lives, have rediscovered the bright days of youth. It is a perspective any 3-year-old will share with you: In the long days and warm, sweet air of summer just about anything is possible. 

We hope this edition of the Sun Valley Guide gives you ideas, inspires you, takes you along paths you didn’t know were there. Think of it as a map leading you to the high rim of a canyon where the view opens up and possibilities unfold before you. Once at the rim’s edge, you’re on your own.
