College 'M' Steep Trail, Mountain hiking trail in Gallatin County, United States.
The College M Steep Trail stretches 1.5 miles uphill with an elevation gain of 800 feet through varied terrain of dirt paths and rocky surfaces.
Students from Montana State University constructed and whitewashed the M monument between 1918 and 1919, establishing it as a visible symbol from town.
The trail connects to the Main Street to the Mountains system, forming an integral part of Bozeman's outdoor recreation network.
Three different routes accommodate various fitness levels, with the advanced path covering one mile round trip and the easier option extending to 3.6 miles.
The trail features multiple stone benches positioned along the ascent, providing specific observation points of the Gallatin Valley below.
