About Galena

Galena was founded after years of working and playing in the mountains and rivers around Leadville and the Arkansas Valley, Colorado. It was an idea born out of dark starts and long days, slow walks, and tent-bound musings. We are a company that is all about place. Our western-inspired pearl snap shirts harken back to Leadville’s mining history, our guidebooks help others discover new adventures, and our imagery shines a new light on the raw beauty of Central Colorado. Our namesake peak is visible on the western skyline from downtown Leadville, CO. It’s not that tall compared to the neighboring 14er’s, and the easiest way to the top is a pleasant outing for durable elementary schoolers; however, this unpretentious peak beckons you to visit its ridges, basins, and couloirs. Our products embody the spirit of Galena Mountain and the simple joys of our home ranges. Read their story
