ミズーラ郡のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Glacier Lake is a picturesque alpine lake along the Glacier Creek Trail. The lake is approximately 3.3 miles from the trailhead near Condon, Montana. It is often passed by hikers heading up to Turquoise Lake or Heart Lake, but it is a very nice destination in its own right; its clear waters ringed by trees and rocky peaks make it a great spot to relax and enjoy the views.

Sapphire Lake is small, pristine alpine lake located at approximately 7,006 feet in the Flathead National Forest. Most get here via Trail No. 415, which begins near Holland Lake. The hike to the lake is considered challenging, with a total round-trip distance of approximately 14.2 miles and an elevation gain of around 3,100 feet.

Upper Holland Lake is approximately 5.5 miles from the Holland Lake trailhead and and is often hiked as part of a loop with Upper Sapphire Lake. Situated at about 6,100 feet the lake is surrounded by towering peaks, making it scenic spot to eat some lunch at before continuing on your hike.

This is a jumping off point for a lot of trails. There's a couple of easy options through the valley and some others that climb up the ridgelines and lead to some great views.

From the trail, there is a nice view of the valley just before the land kicks up into the mountains. You can parts of the Bitterroot River and into Missoula.

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.

This is a jumping off point for a lot of trails. There's a couple of easy options that roll through the valley and some others that climb up the ridgelines and lead to some great descents.

From the top of Mount Sentinel there is a beautiful view of Missoula. Great spot to enjoy the sunset.
