Galena was a hustling, bustling camp of 700 miners during the 1880s—a time when snows were record-making and avalanches historic, according to the late Pearl Eva Barber. And Barber called the store she ran there years later—now Galena Lodge—“a peanut stand.”

Today that lodge is a bustling center for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and mountain biking. Learn more about the iconic lodge and the area surrounding it in today’s Eye on Sun Valley featuring historian John Lundin.
