Day 4: Rest Day Hailey
Wildflower Hike
Susan fixes us a nice breakfast. We did laundry yesterday, so we have a relaxing morning before meeting up with Susan's friends to take a wildflower hike on the Root trail. We passed this trailhead on our way into Ketchum yesterday.
After the hike, Susan gives us a tour of Sun Valley. And we have Thai for dinner.
Enjoy the photos of all the wildflowers. (Bill Shaneyfelt)
