Tuesday Night Hike with the Montana Dirt Girls – Mount Sentinel via the M Trail

Let’s hike up Mt. Sentinel starting at the M Trail.
Meet at the base of the M Trail Parking Lot trailhead.

For a shorter hike, folks can just hike the M. If anyone wants to extend the hike, they can descend via Smokejumper.

We have lots of folks coming in and out each week.

Here are some good rules of thumb:
* Try to get the group started soon after 6:00 pm
* Do intros, ask if we have any new folks and get a head count
* Break into groups if needed & find someone to coordinate each group
* You don’t have to be the fastest in the group to lead but just make sure we don’t leave someone behind
* Have fun!

Note: Friendly and well-behaved dogs are welcome to join us on hikes. If your pup can be aggressive or unpredictable around other dogs/people, please leave them at home. If your dog isn’t under voice control, please plan to leash them up for your hike. Also, make sure you check if the area is open to dogs. There are several closures that start December 1 and some are yearlong. It’s also good to know the trail-specific leash protocol.

Special Hiking Notes

Hikes are geared to an intermediate level of exertion. We gather up at each turn in the trail to keep us headed in the right direction and close together. The only time we will spread out will be on out and back trails. Bring a headlamp or some kind of light with you. When the snow begins to fall, you will want foot grippers such as Kahtoola or other types or make your own Screw Shoes.
