The Helena City Parks Department is taking steps that that could allow electric motor bikes (e-bikes) and scooters onto our nonmotorized South Hills.
Our mountain parks of Mount Helena and Mount Ascension have been classified by deed, ordinance and city code as no motor vehicles since the mid-1990s. Helena trail users runners, hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers, and conservation groups â have worked together to help create this amazing motor-free mountain trail system. These nonmotorized trails and the nonmotorized national forest beyond are Helenaâs greatest outdoor legacy and the backdrop to our community, a priceless trust to protect and pass on.
