Fits Like A Glove

You know the feeling – how slipping into you favorite pair of jeans feels so right, natural.

We rolled into Ketchum (Idaho) this afternoon and let me tell you, doing so was easy.

Arriving felt good.  Familiar and comfortable.

Another mountain town Spring season is underway around these parts and it’s simply a glorious time to be here.

A full slate of hiking and trail riding, followed by visits to our favorite breweries and restaurants lies ahead.

Definitely one of our happy places, we are thrilled to be back, even if only for a few days.

Ketchum, Idaho

DSCF4351Five weeks ago we arrived to Ketchum not knowing what to expect.  Today, with 825 miles to cover ahead of a July 4th family commitment, with mixed emotions we decided to move on.  We did so however knowing that we will be back someday … hopefully sooner than later.

Kelly and I love mountain towns and nestled in Sawtooth Mountains, Ketchum is just that. Unlike other resort towns however (Sun Valley is located there), Ketchum has a unique feel which results is a low key vibe.  A common theory for this centers around the fact that the town is not necessarily easy to access – visitors must ‘want it’.  For many, places such as Park City, Lake Tahoe, or Mammoth Lakes are far easier accessed and afford more skiing options, more restaurants, more night life, more shopping, more this and more that.

To our pleasure, we didn’t pick-up on any over the top nonsense commonplace to the aforementioned towns.  Mainly, it didn’t feel over the top like over places can.

Its mood fit us like a glove.

We stayed in two locations during our time here – both fantastic boondocking sites minutes from town, but offering plenty of solitude and easy access to trails.

Having only scratched the surface of this region during our stay, Kelly and I are already discussing plans visit again in the fall.  We cannot wait to visit again.
