Ryan's Mountain Rentals (RMR)

Reviewed By pcourt - Washington, DC

I reserved a Polaris ATV over a month ahead of time for our first trip out to Idaho. Ryan called me a week before and said he would be out of town but would try to arrange another way for me to pick up the ATV. I agreed to meet him on Tuesday when we landed, two days before the rental on Thursday so we could handle the paperwork and payment. We landed Tuesday and drove straight to Ryan's to handle the paperwork. We got there and made small talk and then I asked about taking care of the paperwork for Thursday. He said "Oh there's no way I can rent you anything on Thursday." So much for making a reservation. It turns out he got a better offer to rent his gear out to a large group at another location. I guess reservations really don't matter.

I just couldn't believe he strung me along the whole time and couldn't even call me to tell me not to bother coming by. That's of course besides the fact that he blew off my reservation when something else came along.

Buyer beware here. Not a reliable person to deal with. Have a Plan B.

This range has it all. Shotgun sports, rifle and pistol areas plus long range targets. They rent shotguns and have excellent instructors. My instructor Chase, really improved my shotgun performance.

Sawtooth Botanical Garden

Reviewed By LanSluderBelize - Asheville, North Carolina

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden isn't very well known, but it should be. It's a relaxing stop near Hailey and Ketchum. You can stroll the gardens and see many flowers and trees native to the high elevation areas of Idaho and the West.

A real gem here is the prayer wheel, donated in 2005 by the Dali Lama of Tibet and one of only two in North America blessed by His Holiness. Admission is by donation (suggest donation $5 a person/$10 a family).

Sun Valley Distillery

Reviewed By svjf - Hailey, Idaho

I like the choices at the Sun Valley Brewery. There is something for everyone. The service is not always the best, they are usually understaffed, but I haven't had a bad meal and there are many different choices of beer.

Blaine County Historical Museum

Reviewed By Falcon1981 - Northern Virginia, Virginia

Two rooms of reasonably interesting artifacts, very nice Model A. Nothing extraordinary, but still worth a short visit (30-45 minutes). The virulent conspiracy theory views of the docent were quite offensive, so we left a earlier than planned. Free, donations accepted.
