About Helan Mountain National Forest Park
Cherry Valley and conifer-covered slopes contrast with the drier plain below. Higher cliff paths provide a more demanding option when open, while the Helan Mountain Museum explains the region’s ecology and geology. Choose the route according to conditions and ability instead of assuming every high path is part of a short visit.
What to look for
- Cherry Valley introduces the forested gorge landscape.
- Conifer slopes and higher viewpoints reveal the mountain terrain.
