The A.J. Hoyt Memorial Trail can be found in Frenchtown, a small community about 16 miles northwest of downtown Missoula. The trail parallels the Frenchtown Frontage Road for just about 11 miles and its flat, asphalt surface makes for an easy walk or ride for users of all ages.

This trail is a segment of the Great American Rail-Trail (GART).
Location: Frenchtown, MT
Trail Condition: Very nice asphalt path with a newly completed section of excellent condition.
Signage: None.
Comments: A new portion of the trail has recently been added to the trail. From Mill Creek Rd (east end of trail) going southeast to junction with Hwy 93 near Wye is 6 miles of new trail. It parallels the frontage road, like the original section of trail. This new section of trail does encounter a couple hills. Thus not level like the original section. Overall nice trail. Lots of clover growing along the trail and smelled good the day I rode. A new other trail users were encountered.
