About this site

Source

A backcountry campground in the Golden area, Helmet Falls has no amenities on record and runs on reservations, so the booking is the first thing to line up.

The Ochre Beds & Paint Pots Trailhead is about 11.4 km away and Kaufmann Lake about 9.5 km.

Field, about 25.7 km off, is the nearest community, with fuel at the Yoho Brothers Trading Post about 26 km out. Buy what you need there rather than expecting anything closer.
