👍👍 I love this spot! There are several different trails to follow and “get lost in Montana “. The views are amazing and the wildlife, busy. Warning though, most everyone allows their dogs off leashes. If you’re allergic or afraid of dogs, this place is probably not for you.

    Lots to explore with some beautiful spots. In the heat of the summer, the area leading to and from the parking lot will roast you a bit - shade is at least half a mile from the lot. Seems to be the consensus area for walking dogs off leash. The dogs love it and I've never seen any problem. Not recommended if that bothers you.

    Absolutely beautiful! So many trails to take! Want something somewhat flat or steep incline? They've got it! Some of it is a bit rocky. Kid/ family friendly! My 4 year old loves it!

    Hike here all the time. Can’t recommend this place enough for those with dogs. My pups and I love coming here. Only problems ever encountered are with people who bring pint sized pups that are afraid of other dogs- the owners are terrible! Beautiful views!!

    One of my favorite finds since moving to Missoula! Close enough to town that you can be there in a few minutes. Great for a short walk or an hours long hike. Very dog friendly!

    Very cute trail that leads to many other trails, you get the best of open spaces or hiking in the woods. Your choice. Dog friendly ☺️

    Great little park to ride regardless of your ability. We rode 3.5 miles in the heat of the day and it was fun.

👍👍 The trail is nice and the view is very worth the hike. Several benches are placed asking the trail for resting on the way up.

👍👍 I really enjoyed this trail and all the raw nature that is experienced on it. After the 1st 3rd of a mile, stay right and hike side by side with the creek. This is where the best hiking is, not the larger semi paved path which is best for bikes. Right after the short cement bridge, take an immediate...

👍👍 Prepare for some hills and beautiful scenery. Make sure to take a map and guidebook as well as plenty of water with you because it connects to other areas such as mt sentinel and if you're not from the area it's possible to get lost or accidentally take a 6 hour hike 😁
