Missoula, Montana is an active university town rich in character set in the midst of stunning scenery. The city lies at the hub of five merging valleys and surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book was exactly what I was looking for - the lazy Missoulian's guide to local trails. I didn't need photos and long descriptions of what I'd see - I just wanted driving directions to the trailheads, and simple, easy-to-use maps of each trail system. This book is also light enough and small enough to take along. From my experience using it as a reference, the maps in the book just follow those that are posted and sometimes freely available when you reach the trail head - but it puts everything conveniently in one place, and also gives elevation gain, round-trip distances, and the USGS map you should use if you want topos. It also gives basic info of the views and other attractions. A worthwhile purchase.
Good for the Native!!
