Enid's Trail:
The 1.9 trail makes for a good horseback ride, hike, or bike ride. The trail can be accessed near to the lodge, on the west side of the Highway. It is gained off the Northwood Trail, or from the Titus drainage side of things - up from the start of the low end of the Titus Lake Trail. Useful as a loop or connector to other trails in the area, this experience culminates atop a knob that offers great views of the mountain chain you are traveling through - Idaho's Smoky Mountains. Additionally, the Boulder Mountains are viewed to the south from this vantage point.
Back in the late 1800's Galena was the site of a mining boom-town. During its heyday the town boasted a liver stable, butcher's shop, several stores and a population of over 800. The town also included some houses of prostitution. Enid and Emma were among the town's prostitutes who were asked to leave town when community leaders decided it was time for them to go. The two retreated up a couple of nearby gulches where they set up shop. The drainages are now named for them. Enid's Trail travels through the area where Enid and her guests carried on with their business.
To get to Enid's Trail, safely cross the highway near the lodge and drop down to cross the footbridge over the Big Wood River (stream-like here). At the intersection near the cabins, turn right on Northwood to gain the east side of Enid's Trail. Alternatively, continue straight to reach the west end of Enid's - off of the low end of the Titus Lake Trail.
Enid's has a northern side, and a southern side, plus a trail traversing across the middle of the two halves. The traversing trail is called Enid's Cut-Across Trail. It is a less demanding section of the trail, so it makes for a nice option for those looking for an easier, shorter loop.
Keep in mind that Enid's and Enid's Cut-Across trails are popular as horseback rides, and that the saddle-rides and livery operation at Galena uses these trails frequently for day-rides. At times they can be loose and dusty.
To get to Galena Lodge, head north on Hwy 75 from Ketchum. The lodge is on the right after about 24 miles. If you are coming from Stanley, or other points north, drop over Galena Summit. You will come to the lodge after about 6 miles; on the left.
