About the Event
Ernest Hemingway called Sun Valley home. He wrote, hunted, fished, and found his peace in the shadow of Bald Mountain. In June 2027, YPO Expedition invites you to follow in his footsteps — to trade boardrooms for mountain rivers, and quarterly reports for campfire conversations.
The Sun Also Rises is a five-day chapter escape set against the dramatic backdrop of Idaho's Wood River Valley. Expect world-class fly fishing, mountain adventures, intimate dinners, and the kind of fellowship that only comes from shared experience in extraordinary places.

The Experience

On the Big Wood River
Cast a line on the same waters Hemingway waded. Expert guides lead you through the pristine Big Wood River, where the trout are plentiful and the scenery is unforgettable.

Legendary Mountain Hospitality
Stay in the iconic Sun Valley Lodge, where Hemingway himself was a guest. Nestled beneath Bald Mountain, it remains one of America's most storied mountain resorts.

Fellowship Around the Table
Gather for candlelit evenings in Sun Valley's finest settings. From private lodge dinners to mountain-view restaurants, every meal is a celebration of good company.
Registration Opening Soon
