A giant “M” painted on top of Mount Sentinel is a staple in Missoula, MT. It’s a great reference for getting around and also just looks really cool. Forestry students at the University of Montana cut the trail and arranged an “M” with rocks in the early 1900s. A concrete “M” was built in the 60s and remains today.
A mentor told me he ran up to “the M” and touched it every morning while he lived in Missoula in the 90s. I can hear him now. “You gotta go touch the M!“
I didn’t run up to “the M,” but I did touch it (and birdwatched along the way).
