The M Trail in Missoula, Montana is a difficult 1.3-mile out-and-back trail that leads to the concrete "M" which sits along a hillside above the city.
This hike starts near the University of Montana football stadium and takes you to the enormous concrete 'M' that overlooks the city. The "M" is about halfway up Mt. Sentinel, and if you continue your hike up you will be rewarded with an even better view of the city, along with a view of I-90 as it leaves Missoula headed towards Butte, MT.
This is a short hike, but it climbs the whole way up, so you're sure to get a little warm or sweaty on your ascent, hence the "hard" difficulty rating. There are benches located at every switchback so there are plenty of opportunities to take a break.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
