Mount Helena City Park protects a prominent hillside landscape above Helena, with a network of trails ranging from gentler neighborhood connections to more demanding climbs.

The routes provide changing views of the city and surrounding terrain. The photograph shows the actual Backside Trail within the park.

Temporary fire, forestry or construction restrictions can affect access, and ground conditions change quickly with weather.
