Hemingway Trail: This hiking only trail makes possible a connection from the Hemingway Memorial, off of Trail Creek Road, to the trails in the vicinity of Proctor Mountain.When his good friend Gene VanGuilder was accidentally shot and killed while duck hunting Ernest Hemingway wrote the following euolgy:
Best of all he loved the fall
The leaves yellow on the cottonwoods
Leaves floating on the trout streams
And above the hills
The high blue windless skies
...Now he will be a part of them forever
Hemingway is buried in the Ketchum Cemetery, and a memorial to him is located about 1.3 miles east of the Sun Valley Lodge on the east side of Trail Creek Road. The west end of this short trail starts at the memorial.
