Sun Valley Spin

Sun Valley, Idaho, isn't very far from Mackay, just 42 miles as the raven flies.  However, Sun Valley and Mackay arguably couldn't be farther apart culturally, economically, politically and by practically every other measure of the differences between two communities.

Sun Valley Magazine sent a writer and photographer over the hill to profile Mackay in the Summer 2013 issue.  The result is a surprisingly well done article that neither diminishes nor overly embellishes Mackay.  It's a fairly straight up piece that provides a decent glimpse of the "essence of modern day Mackay"  Although the article is a little heavy on bars and restaurants, it's still a decent intro to the "Top of The World."
