A new five-mile trail system surrounding Sun Valley’s new nine hole golf course is now open to all hikers and mountain bikers. The project is a joint effort by Sun Valley Resort, Big Wood Backcountry Trails and the International Mountain Bicycling Association.

The multi-use, all level trail system was built in the spring and early summer of 2007 by a five-member crew working with a mini-dozer and mini-excavator.  A name for the new trail has not yet been decided.

Three access points are located across from the Sun Valley Lodge entrance, behind the existing golf course clubhouse parking lot and across from the new golf course clubhouse site. The trail system is maintained by the Sun Valley Resort.
