Chestnut Mountain

Alright, so I just got home from a weekend at Chestnut Mountain in IL, near Galena, IL and I have to say that the park there is amazing. They actually have three different parks. All are groomed nightly, and they also have 2 halfpipes and a snowskate park. They also have about a solid jump line with jumps going from 20' to 35' to 55'. I highly suggest that if you ahve the time head down or up to Chestnut, you will defenitely have an awesome time. Also, Galena, IL is only about 15 minutes away and might actually be one of the most undiscovered rail towns that I ahve ever seen. There are probly about 5-6 solid kinked rails of varying sizes and degrees.

Just my 2cents

It is a nice little hill, if you cross the mighty mississippi then you can hit up sundown in Iowa.

Ive been there a few times, and they have a pretty epic park. But I think Galena itself is what i appreciate most. Its just one of those quaint little secluded towns that i would love to live in when i grow up.
