The trail is pretty steep at first but there are plenty of switchbacks and it doesnt last that long. once you get to the top of the trail it leads a couple of different ways, one goes back into town, and one leads to the several other trails. some of these trails lead back to town, but one of them leads to mount ascension which is the talled mountain in helena. this is significantly more difficult than the eagle scout trail.
Start going up Davis gulch anywhere in town, and follow it south untill it turns to a dirt road. There should be two parking lots on the left side of the dirt road. One when the road turns to dirt, and one about .3 miles after that. take the second one and there should be a wood chip path leading from the Parking lot to the trail head.
