We spent the weekend in Sun Valley. It is hard to beat Sun Valley in the fall, when the leaves begin changing on the Aspens, the cool mornings warm to sunny days, and the summer crowds thin out. We hiked up to Proctor Mountain, one of our favorite hikes. (Notice that Hank's tongue is hanging out of his mouth in every photo from the hike? He, of course, went twice as far as Mike and I did...running up the trail and back to meet us, running down the gulch and back up to the trail. He slept for hours after we returned to the condo.) We also had dinner at the Pioneer while watching the Alabama/Georgia game. There is something very therapeutic about the Wood River Valley -- everything is a bit more relaxed up there. Unfortunately, this was our last week at the condo until next spring...maybe we'll get lucky and find a free winter weekend to head up there.
