January 12, 2021December 26, 2020Beautiful morning on waterworks. Started before 8 as the only car in the parking lot, lot was full when we finished. The path was a little bit ice covered in places, so come prepared.

October 30, 2020October 22, 2020October 11, 2020Great trail. Most of it is gravel. Great views from top. Make your hike, Walk, or run as Long or shirt as you wish. Lots of choices. Full sun. No shade, so plan accordingly in the summer.

August 23, 2020August 13, 2020August 8, 2020Good little walk. Bit of an uphill incline but decent for the dogs and such. Great view of the city :)
August 1, 2020Great view of Missoula. Lots of trail off shoots. Go early. It’s hot.
July 11, 2020I was looking for a trail that was decent walk and gave me a taste of Missoula and Montana. It was a decent climb and beautiful views. Everyone I came across was nice. It wasn’t that busy at all going up. One person coming down (before 7am) and a runner up ahead of me once I got further. Crosswinds most of the time. The trail I was on I thought was waterworks, I went until it ended then turned around. That seemed correct. There were signs to all sorts of other trails going off in different directions with varying lengths. This is a great resource for longer hikes and a quick one to get breath taking views in before your day, or to end your day. I’m headed out on a 16 hour road trip. Thanks Missoula!
June 16, 2020Easy trail with beautiful views and many side trails to explore. So many flowers! Plus we found bitterrroot flowers!!!
June 16, 2020Great flowers today!
June 12, 2020I can’t add anything others haven’t already said, except right now the bitterroot are blooming and it’s worth a walk up to see them.
