The "M" on the west face of Mount Sentinel has been a Missoula landmark since 1908, when Forestry Club members forged a zigzag trail up the mountain and students carried up stones to shape the symbol of the University of Montana.

The "M" Trail is a very popular area for hiking and running, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. There are great views of Missoula and the entire valley from the trail, but should be noted that there is no shade, so try and get there early!

Being that this trail can get crowded, there are two alternative trails back down the mountain, one in the north towards the tree-line, and a slightly longer detour trail in the south if you continue on Evan's Trail.
