HIKING
The trails around Galena are easily accessible and lead into some of the most spectacular country in Idaho. Choose between ridge-lines or vast meadows as you weave through commanding forests alongside bubbling creeks. From a relaxing stroll through Senate Meadow to an all day ascent of Galena peak, you can appreciate a fantastic view at nearly every turn.  Go ahead and bring Fido, dogs are welcome on all of our trails in the summer.
Mountain Biking
Whether you are a first time mountain biker or a seasoned rider, the trails at Galena have something for everyone.  Over 40 miles of flowing berms and breathtaking climbs wind past old mining sites, cabins and towering trees! Galena Lodge has a great fleet of rental bikes and offers lessons and clinics for anyone looking to up their game.

No need to buy a pass, the trails are free!
