Mount Helena City Park is a 620-acre park in Helena, Montana. The park encompasses Mount Helena which rises 5,468' above sea level, overlooking the city of Helena 1,300' below. The park includes six trails up and around the mountain, some of which connect to other trails in nearby Helena National Forest. Other trails go to the cave nicknamed "Devils Kitchen", to the big letter "H" on the side of the mountain (the "H" is currently unmaintained and in poor condition) overlooking the city, and to the summit of the mountain. The park is free of admission and is maintained by the City of Helena and local conservation and recreation groups from the Helena area including the Prickly Pear Land Trust.
