BISHOP HILL Over the last 20 years, Bishop Hill resident Courtney Stone has watched the state-owned buildings in the historic village deteriorate due to deferred maintenance and lack of capital funding.
From crumbling stucco to rotting windows, the conditions of mid-19th century structures such as the Bjorklund Hotel and the Colony Church are in need of cosmetic and structural attention.
“The maintenance has been deferred to the point that some these buildings will be beyond repair,” Stone said.
Bishop Hill was founded in 1846 by Swedish immigrants led by Erik Jansson as a utopian community.

Europe is known for its network of high-alpine huts, where you hike from lodge to lodge and eat dishes like goulash and spaetzle before retiring for the night in plush accommodations and then hiking on to the next hut the following day. But you don’t have to leave the country for a taste of that experience.
“The U.S. is on the verge of embracing what huts are all about,” says Sam Demas, author of the forthcoming guidebook
Hut to Hut USA: The Complete Guide for Hikers, Bikers, and Skiers, which will be published in October. “There’s a big appetite for hut travel in the U.S., and we’re seeing more communities develop new systems.”

As Glacier National Park visitors brace for traffic bottlenecks at the two main entrances, some local businesses have set up workarounds for non-motorized visitors.
Last Friday, Glacier Guides started shuttling bicyclists through the West Glacier entrance, delivering visitors to Apgar, Lake McDonald and Avalanche along the Going-to-the-Sun Road. Shuttle riders do not have to have the advance entry tickets, but do still need a regular park pass to get in plus the shuttle s $35 cost.
âWeâre already seeing that pandemic pent-up demand,â Glacier Guides marketing director Courtney Stone said on Friday. âPeople are wanting to get outdoors. The bike shuttle fits in nicely, as a way to explore the park without having to take another 15 vehicles in there.â
