Galena, Illinois, is a small city characterized by rolling hills, rich history, and a surprising abundance of outdoor activities just beyond its quaint streets. Among these, Hoof It Galena offers a distinctive blend of hands-on nature experiences that draw visitors away from the usual trails to engage with the landscape in new ways.
