Sun Valley History:
The Guyer Hot Springs Resort, on Warm Springs Road, helped make Ketchum famous by the late 1800’s. The Resort combined with the mining operations here, caused many to visit the area at that time.
By 1936, with the slowdown in mining, there were only about 100 year-round residents in Ketchum. In January of ’36, Count Felix Schaffgosch came into the valley. He had been hired by the Union Pacific Chairman, Averell Harriman, to find a "perfect spot" for a ski resort. In less than a year, the luxurious Sun Valley Resort was completed and the doors were open to international publicity. The Sun Valley /Ketchum area was on the map.
