Lake Helene

Trailhead: Bear Lake
Distance: 3.2 mi
Elevation Change: 1,130'

The trail climbs the ridge north of Bear Lake and shortly after attaining the north side reaches the junction with the Flattop Mtn trail. Continue to the right; the trail bends from the east flank of Flattop to the north. Not far after crossing Mill Creek, on the flank of Joe Mills Mtn, the trail begins to descend. Where the trail makes a sharp right turn to descend Odessa Gorge, head off trail to the southwest to reach the lake.
