Just a sidenote… Missoula has some of the most beautiful Greenbelt trails on both sides of the river in old downtown.. A great place that’s free to park would be down by the Boone and Crockett museum just off of Higgins… Right before you get to Bernice Bernice‘s bakery…. Follow road down the hill.. The paths are lighted at night time.
