Galena Gulch Recreation Area

The 'rules' clearly state to park only on the prepared gravel spots, but it's small print that the next two folks didn't read. There are two small loops. The sites in the eastern loop are closer together but most of them back to th... more

Mosquitoes were non-existent, and the river provided a nice ambiance for the night. It appears to be a favorite spot with locals. There was a dual rear-axle RV, two la... more
