Strawberry Butte Lookout is about 12 miles from the apartment. Tucked away in the Elkhorn Mountains just south of Helena, the Strawberry Butte Lookout trail is a gem just waiting to be discovered.
This mild 1.5-mile trail curls around Strawberry Butte before arriving at a U.S. Forest Service cabin and fire lookout tower at the top. It is accessible from either Montana City or Clancy. The lookout tower stands nearly 80 feet tall, an awe-inspiring sight to see at the top of the climb.
The trail begins at the base of Strawberry Butte, where Strawberry Lookout Road forks from Warm Springs Creek Road to the south of the butte. Recreationists can either hike from the fork in the road or drive an extra two-tenths of a mile up the hill to where a gate bars the road. In the summer months the gate is open and cars are able to travel directly to the top.
With sight lines to the south and west, this trail provides stunning panoramic views of the Elkhorns, Montana City and the Helena Valley on the way up. There are snow-capped mountains to gaze upon in nearly all directions. Upon arriving in the clearing at the top, visitors can explore the cabin campground, the lookout tower and the surrounding areas, all while enjoying spectacular views.

Reeder's Alley is situated in the southwest corner of downtown Helena, the capitol of Montana. It is the oldest intact piece of early Helena. The property is a strong link to the beginnings of a settlement here, offering insights into the lives of miners, the Chinese influence, building techniques of the time, and life of the common men and women who came here seeking their fortune.

Mount Helena City Park at its peak is 5,468 feet above sea level and about 1,300 feet above the Last Chance Gulch Mall. Parking lot with information kiosk available at the trailhead. There are many trails on Mount Helena...including the following:
1906 TRAIL This well designed trail has offered the easiest and most direct route to the top of the mountain for over 70 years. It follows the base of the limestone cliffs for awhile, and passes the Devil's Kitchen.
THE PRAIRIE TRAIL This trail was named for the beautiful prairie wildflowers that bloom along its length, and it is perhaps the best place to see the cliffs and to enjoy the park's remarkably varied north-slope landscapes. The colors here are always beautiful, but especially when the wildflowers are in bloom and near sunset or sunrise.
THE BACKSIDE TRAIL An interesting trail passing through a typically open and grassy woodland of ponderosa pine. You'll notice that the pines at the trail's western end have a little fire-blackening at the base of their trunks. Quick burning grass fires are a frequent visitor to such woodlands, and the pines are well adapted to thrive in spite of it.
THE HOGBACK TRAIL A rather rough and rocky trail that leads from the peak of the mountain southward along the exposed Hogback Ridge. It is a lot more fun to go down this trail than to go up, but it offers spectacular views in all directions, and the closest thing to a wind-swept alpine experience to be had on our little mountain.
THE PROSPECTOR SHAFTS TRAIL Named for the prospector shafts about half-way along its length. This is a long and very interesting trail that winds through a wide variety of landscapes, and which makes a lot of unexpected twists and turns. A fine way to explore the recently acquired southeast quarter of the park.
THE WEST END TRAIL This is the most remote part of the park. The trail leads through a beautiful little meadow in the saddle between Mount Helena itself and the next prominent bump along the ridge. It is a great place to spend a lazy afternoon.
