Missoula is an active university town rich in character that is set in the midst of stunning scenery. The city lies at the hub of five merging valleys and is surrounded by mountain ranges and national forests, making the area home to some of the finest alpine hiking in Montana. These 102 day hikes range from popular overlooks of Missoula (including the "M") to remote backcountry trails through stream-fed canyons. Many hikes are found in the Bitterroot Range, the Seeley Swan Valley, and within the city itself. Highlights include dramatic waterfalls, steep canyons, fertile valleys flanked by mountain ranges, panoramic views, suspension bridges, and historic sites from the Lewis and Clark voyage. Spectacular scenery and hikes for every level of experience."
