Thanks to the joint efforts of the city and county of Missoula, as well as other partners, Grant Creek Trail is a reality. The paved trail stretches 3.3 miles through a rural landscape of open pastures and woodland. Neighborhoods densify as one travels south. 2 of those miles were constructed by the city with the remaining 1.3 being an initiative of the county. The route followed mostly parallels the roadway of the same name but it does veer away from the road near the south end of the trail (around Prospect Drive). There are number of crossings of both streets and private driveways. The trail terminates where Grant Creek Road meets US-93.
The trailhead can be found at 5705 Grant Creek Road (Rocky Mountain Foundation). The trail can also be accessed at about 13 points all along its length from the surrounding roads, fields and neighborhoods.
2 9% grades but Ebikes are the way to go. Beautiful area and beautiful homes
It was an awesome walk. Pretty scenery. Easy walk.
