This great outdoors hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 2,969 feet which is a higher than average number. Being 10 miles long; it's longer than many wilderness hiking trails. At parts of the year this vicinity sees very little rain, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. This is a long wilderness trail, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. This great outdoors hiking trail has two trailheads, so trekking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. Some parts of Helen Creek Way are much higher up than other parts of the wilderness hiking trail, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. This backcountry trek shouldn't take more than 8.5 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster.
