Overview

This is an intense one-way trail in Mount Helena City Park. The northern approach (Powerline trail) is quite steep and follows the electricity lines to the equipment at the false summit. The southern approach (Prospect Shafts) is easier and gives some good views of Helena, the highlight is the section along the north-south spine of the peak, while the lower elevations are sheltered from southern winds.

This trail goes by Mount Helena.

    Be prepared for steep down hill. My knees did not like it. I’m looking for a hard up and switchbacks down.
