Great place to spot nature. Long trails. The report center is an amazing example of earthlings helping each other

My husband and I visited today at the outdoor rapture center and I just fell in love! I only wish I could see these guys everyday! We donated and the $5 parking is nothing compared to what they are doing to help these raptors.

Visited Glen Helen, my favorite hiking spot, after seven years living out of state. It was a very disappointing experience. Parking now costs $5. I was told that this is due to GH's state as a non-profit, but the Glen has never been a for-profit business, so I found this explanation unsatisfactory. Most importantly, drastic changes have been made to the Glen. Most due to hyper-paranoia over Covid-19. You're asked to wear masks-\-\outside for the love of God! You may only walk one direction down a path, so if you're visiting ... read more

Business response:

Matthew, sorry you had a disappointing experience. There has been a parking fee at Glen Helen for several years. (Glen Helen members park free year-round).

A gorgeous first visit to the nature reserve! People were responsible, masked and social distanced. The weather was perfect and the scenery spectacular.

Glen Helen is an amazing place to spend a few hours hiking in the woods. It is a wonderful and peaceful place. The preserve has several very nice natural features from streams and a waterfalls to a natural spring and a pine forest. The main trails are well maintained. A copy of the preserve map is helpful. There is signage in several places that point to trails that lead back to the parking area. There is a fee of $5.00 to park in the nature preserve parking area. You can pay with cash or with a QR code on your phone.
