Quite possibly the most beautiful place on earth for a backpacker. Visit during the summer months and you'll have a glacier lake begging for you to jump in. While it is at the end of a canyon, you are surrounded by trees, glaciers, and the sound of rushing water. Highly recommend for any backcountry camper.

A little bit out of the way, this campsite isn't very well protected by trees from the elements. Since is sits below a glacier, it's often windy. The trail is overgrown in places. There is a makeshift bridge that allows access without fording the outflow of Helen lake. There are only two sites. It was a good site, and a beautiful setting but a little too remote being at the end of a dead end valley, and you can tell is infrequently used.
