MOUNTAIN biking in Sun Valley, Idaho, is best seen from the saddle. But a glimpse from a four-seater airplane of the valley’s mountains, alpine lakes, rivers, canyons, forests and lava flows helped set the stage.

The pilot, Tor Andersen, who had his mountain bike and fly-fishing rod neatly stowed in the fuselage of the 51-year-old Cessna 182, was joining me for some autumn mountain biking during the harvest moon.

After our arrival at Friedman Memorial Airport, and a quick visit to a bike shop for trail information and last-minute gear, we rode east to the Lamb’s Gulch Trail in Croy Canyon with Scott Douglas, an owner of Sun Valley Trekking, an outfitter that rents out backcountry huts and yurts.
