The Wood River Valley is second home to some very famous names, including John Kerry and Arnold Schwartzenegger. It's Sun Valley and Ketchum.

I thought it would be too glitzy, but found it very pleasant and even spent a rest day there. The bike trail system is incredible. There's trail all the way up the valley, and bike lanes elsewhere. But the most amazing thing: When I was trying to cross the main highway in Hailey (2 lanes each way, both full of traffic), I was just waiting at a corner with no light, thinking that I should have gone to a corner with a light. And lo and behold, all 4 lanes of traffic just stopped for me to cross! That's pretty nice!
