The M Trail
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.
