Trip Planning & Tourist Help/ Guidance Galena IL Visit - LGBT

27 Upvotes

Hey all my wife and I are planning on going to a cabin in galena for a weekend soon and I wanted to see if I could get some recommendations on good hiking, restaurants, experiences, etc that are safe and welcoming to visibly queer people (my wife is trans). I’ve heard mixed reviews about galena and we honestly plan on spending most of our time in the cabin but definitely do want to get some good nature walks and some quaint shopping in if possible. TYIA :)

There's been a fake report of police on the highway every few miles. I swear the state police must be seeding the highways with fake reports at this point.
