The College ‘M’ Trail is likely the busiest trail on the Main Street to the Mountains system, but for good reason. The trail offers two routes, an easy side and a steeper, harder side. Both routes take you to the top where the letter M sits high above the valley as a symbol of pride for our Montana State University. The benches at the top of the ‘M’ give some of the most spectacular views of the valley. For many, this is a quick hike and can easily be done during a lunch break. This trail is also especially popular for outings for visiting friends and families. The wildflowers are abundant in the spring months. This can be a very busy trail so bikers are discouraged.
