Parks and Trails
Since 1995, Prickly Pear Land Trust has built more than 80 miles of trails in Helena’s South Hills, and we’re just getting started. We protected and almost 700 acres to Mount Ascension Park and Mount Helena City Park. And with community support, we’ve created three new parks – Tenmile Creek, Grove, and Prickly Pear Park.
