Casey Peak is a moderate out-and-back hike in the Helena Ranger District of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana, about 2.2 miles long with a one-way elevation gain of 1,410 feet. The trail starts at a low point of about 7,085 feet and climbs to a high point of about 8,495 feet. The route is on natural surface, and the Forest Service allows both horses and bikes. The peak sits within the Helena Ranger District, and the Forest Service manages the land. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from June 15 through November 30, when the trail is typically open. That window gives time for a summer or early fall trip, and the trail is not open in the winter. Nearby, Jackson Creek and Montgomery Park Trail are both within about 2 miles. Tizer/Montgomery Park Gfa - Four-Way Jct Cua offers camping about 3 miles away, and the Evening Rock climbing area is about 6 miles off.
