Mount Jumbo

Between 1995 and 1998, about 1600 acres of open space on Mt. Jumbo were placed into public ownership to conserve critical winter range, preserve important elk travel corridors, provide habitat for a variety of other species, protect Missoula's viewshed, and to provide outdoor recreation for citizens.
