Summer Riding and HIking at Galena

Late summer is a great time to get out on your mountain bike or lace up your hiking shoes and enjoy one of the numerous trails at Galena Lodge. If you haven't hiked or biked on the Old Toll Road now is the time. The 5 miles (one way) lower section of the Toll Road is a great introduction to mountain biking or a casual stroll through history. Right now the wildflowers are still blooming, the views are amazing and you will feel like you are exploring a new part of Galena and it's mining history. Stop by the lodge and grab a free map and some directions, a Don Bar and lunch before you head out on this new adventure.

For our Sunday brunch lovers this weekend we will be enjoying the sounds of Bruce Innes from 11am to 2pm on the deck!
