I’ve never been here, never will be, but I wanted to point out some features that caught my attention on the satellite view. Helen Lake must be intermittent, it doesn’t show in the current satellite view, it’s on the terrain view. It must be in a depression. On the downhill (south) side of the lake site, over the higher ground containing the lake (when it’s there), about 500 feet south of the campsite, is a series of ring shaped features, roughly 10-15 feet across, in various states of sharpness. There are about 30 some of these. They seem natural but I can’t think of a reasonable mechanism for their formation. Maybe a future visitor to this campsite could visit these features and give a review and photos to show what these are, they might even be worth a paper by a geology student, if they are geological. I looked around in the nearby area and didn’t find any similar features. [A few hours later…] Thinking about a bit more I now believe that these features are the campsite. I can’t tell the fine details of the topography here but these features may be on the edge of the lake when it’s there and may be the piles of rocks cleared from tent sites. They are about the right size and might give a little bit of protection from the wind. It wouldn’t be surprising to find the campsite location to be a bit off.

Chic spot with natural architecture, elegant dining, relaxing lounge, cozy single person suites and great service. Only complaint was the limited selection at the bar.
