Sightseeing

You've likely noticed the giant "M" on the mountain named Mount Sentinel. There is a hiking trail up to it that is perfect to quickly get a great view of Missoula. The hike can be strenuous, but if you can only make it up the first section there is still a great view. To get to the trail head, follow Campus Drive around to the base of the mountain, and park in Lot U. If it's Monday - Friday between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM plan to park in an hourly pay lot, or stop at the security office (32 Campus Drive) and purchase a visitor parking permit for $3.50.
