Chestnut Mountain

We had a ski training event at Chestnut Mountain near historic Galena, Illinois and if you are looking for a weekend get away you may want to consider this location. We saw an historic hotel where President Lincoln stayed and also the home of General Ulysses Grant. The majestic Mississippi provides a scenic backdrop. We saw plenty of deer and a bald eagle.

One run called "Warpath" has a vertical drop that many skiers may find challenging.
