Description

This easy and very scenic trail travels along Galena Creek! Hikers will find lots of aspen trees growing along the way as they pass golf courses and luxurious homes. The trail crosses over the river on large wooden bridges in a few areas and it also runs under some bridge of streets crossing the creek.
