Park at the technical college just west of Community Hospital or just off CCC Road/Guardsman Lane at the South Avenue entrance to Fort Missoula. You may be able to park at the hospital, too, but heed any parking restrictions. On weekends you can park at Target Range School.
South Avenue can get busy and this trail is a great alternative for cyclists and pedestrians wanting to access Missoula’s west side and the Bitterroot River. You'll get great views of Missoula's surrounding mountains and you can link to other west-side trails, making crossing town a lot easier than it used to be in the old days.
