Barmeyer Trail

The trail starts out as a wide path meandering uphill through a forest with large sparsely spaced trees and abundant shade. After the split with the Barmeyer Loop trail it breaks out above the trees into grassy slopes with good views of Mount Sentinel and the mountains north of Missoula. After a split with the Barmeyer Overlook path the trail follows an old road for a short distance and then drops into the trees, crosses a dirt road, and descends through a few switchbacks before breaking out into a grassy hillside with great views of the Missoula Valley. The trail traverses below a driveway and ends at a small trailhead on Spanish Peaks Drive.
