Galena Lodge
Galena Lodge is a Nordic skiing and mountain biking recreation area in Blaine County, Idaho. It was established in 1976 at the location of the former mining town of Galena (1876–1890). The lodge operation is based on a special-use permit from the US Forest Service, the first one issued in the US for the Nordic ski resort. With almost 100 miles of trails for skiing and snowshoeing, the Ketchum/Sun Valley Nordic system is one of the largest ones in the United States.
