"Out of all the seasons I have walked up this mountain, fall is bar far the most satisfying. Beautiful colors wash over the valley floor and temperatures are cooler and perfect for hiking. A nice day for a hike with my good friend Zack." — MarmotHead • Oct 29, 2022

"A fun side trip while passing through Missoula. Took the L Trail to the Backbone Trail to the summit, and then down the South Face Trail back to the trailhead. Overall rating 7/10, a short scenic hike and a great way to spend a couple hours if staying in Missoula or passing through the area" — MountainQuest • Sep 18, 2021

"This is not a hard climb. Most might say it is just a walk in the woods. But it is my climb, the one I resort to on any day, to refresh, to contemplate, to recuperate through life's times. Nothing stands out probably to the eye of most people, and I rarely see many people on the various routes I take (although more are finding it within the recent years). With views of the multiple valleys and mountain ranges that surround Missoula, this is a big reward/low effort affair, and something I have walked up to every month of the year. Today was a stellar pre-spring day, and Clark's nutcrackers were out and boisterous." — MarmotHead • Mar 4, 2021

"Just a little nub on the backside of Mt. Sentinel. About one mile up Crazy Canyon road, take the trail to the west, and within 1/4 mile you'll see the trailhead. Only God and the US Forest Service knows why, but there is a closure/rehab sign up. The trail is actually fine, and it is the only trail to the top of Ginny Mountain." — ronlouisscholl • Oct 23, 2011

"Well, it's an easy hump up Jumbo--but I'll gladly take the first claim. Kim Williams said there was steer's head flowers on the beautiful wooded northside of the mountain, but I've yet to see it." — ronlouisscholl • May 21, 2011
