A short walk from Trail Creek Road leads to a bronze bust of Hemingway on a stone column, set in a small clearing above the creek. The inscription is from a eulogy Hemingway wrote in 1939 for his friend Gene Van Guilder, a Sun Valley publicist killed in a hunting accident: "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." It is sometimes more moving than the grave itself.
To find it, drive about 1.5 miles east from the Sun Valley Lodge on Trail Creek Road; the memorial pull-out is signed on the left. A flagstone path runs about 100 metres back to the bust.
