Rent safe and private dog hiking trails hosted by locals in Missoula, Montana

A wonderful place to let your pup roam! Grass Valley Farm is pretty easy to find, and Mike (one of the owners' employees, I believe) met us on property before our first wandering and explained exactly where to go. Really kind and considerate human. :) Beautiful land, lovely views and SO MANY sniffs for my dog to enjoy. Quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend, and we intend to continue visiting (for as long as they'll have us!).

Lots of land, we only explored one part of the field when we were there. Someone met us upon arrival and advised us of which field would be best to walk around since it was a muddy day. Likely to return to explore more areas available!

Such a fun time! It was a drizzly day and Cory recommended an area of the farm that would be less muddy. Very communicable! My pup loved all the sniffs and spacious area to roam!

We were passing through on our way from Calgary, AB to Sacramento, CA and needed to let Stevie stretch her legs. This place is absolutely gorgeous with gentle hills and plenty of smells, sights, and sounds to keep your dog entertained. I wish I lived closer so that I could come back again!

Due to some technical things I was accidently able to book before they were ready. They were still very welcoming and helpful though and my dogs and I had a very peaceful and much needed walk. Great space for walking.

This was just what we were looking for! A really large acreage where my dogs could run free. It's also a beautiful walk for humans too. It has high elevation spots where you can see all the mountains around. There are lots of roads to walk through and around the property. One of my dogs is sometimes reactive with other male dogs so its difficult for me to take him to off leash parks and hikes. Reserving a time slot when there are no other dogs around is perfect. Alton was friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommended!

This is a great spot! The property was beautiful with tons of room for my pup to run / trails to explore. Alton was super friendly and helpful as well.

No doubt my dogs' favorite thing I've ever spent money on for them. Tons of gophers to chase and endless sniffs to be had. The owners were lovely and very considerate and we had no trouble finding or using the space.

I was prompted to leave a review but I actually wasn’t able to find the spot. It looked like a beautiful space though and owner responded relatively quickly. Unfortunately I had already gotten halfway home before I got the response. But for only $5, I’ll definitely be trying again soon :)

This property is absolutely gorgeous. We could have walked for hours. This will definitely be a main stopping point for us on road trips. Next time I'll book for 2 hours. Google maps wasn't helpful. I recommend just looking up and going directly to the entrance of the campsite. From there it's easy to find your way.

Beautiful property with so many different trails, views, and sniffs to explore! Our doggo had an absolute blast; truly a great space to let your dog just be a dog and run free, be curious, and explore. Alton was a great host; he suggested using a particular entrance based on what we were interested in experiencing, and he met us there to give us some advice on which directions to head in, features to look for, etc. Highly recommend a visit!

Incredible spot! We are staying at the Hipcamp on the property and we rented the field next to the camp area and it was amazing. Private and beautiful! Highly recommend. You park in the campground area and walk into their field so you could possibly walk by some leashed dogs in their sites. Once you get in the field you can’t even see them anymore. Loved it!

I had an amazing time with my pup! I’m local to Missoula but was hoping to ease some anxiety with helping my dog learn to be off leash and teach a good recall. So beautiful and relaxing!

My dog and I had a blast at Alton’s farm. There are birds and rodents and deer to smell and chase, water to swim in, and endless acreage to roam. The views are stunning and make for a great long walk for people, too. We had no problem finding the farm with Alton’s directions, and the cattle fencing was sufficient to keep my dog contained. We plan to become regular visitors. For owners of dogs with long hair: when we visited, the burs were plentiful and required lots of grooming when we got home (worth it). For owners with reactive dogs: when we parked (accessing the spot from Millan rd) there was a dog near the house that appeared to be off-leash. It did not chase after us or leave the yard, so don’t be concerned if it’s there upon your arrival.

On a long road trip. My dogs absolutely loved having this as a place to get a good hike. We could return many times and explore a different areas. Got good directions from the host.

What a memorable time with my pup. I’m so incredibly grateful for a spot like this where I can let my dog run around freely and safely without worry. Thanks, Alton! This space was beautiful and open and fun to explore.

I was traveling back home and wanted to find a Sniffspot in the Missoula area close to free way with a lot of space to let my dog run.. this place did not disappoint. The views are amazing and Beau loved everything about it. It lived up to the name Sniffspot. Tons of smells and running for Beau. I got to just enjoy the walk, vistas and fresh clean air. Highly recommend.

Love it! We have a pretty reactive rescue with us and this place was awesome! Contacted owner to make sure nobody else would be near by and there wasn’t. My dog was able to run freely! Which he loved! Doesn’t get to run free very often. Will definitely be back! We liked that there was a bathroom and water available by the entrance.!

It was hard to navigate getting to the sniffspot, but now that I’m familiar with it I will definitely be back! Alton provides really clear instructions, which is super helpful because Google/Apple maps will be incorrect, but if you are not entirely familiar with the area it can be a little nervewracking and confusing to get to the spot—we were 15 minutes late because I kept getting lost! 😅 Good news: just as we were about to give up and head back the way we came, we found the hipcamp sign! We came from Mullan Rd so the hipcamp sign is not clearly visible from that side of the road but we caught it on the way back! The sniffspot itself is LOVELY! What a nice hidden gem. It was a lot of fun to explore a small part of the area and we will definitely be back to explore the rest of it! Griffyn has a good time running through tall grass and checking the area out and it was nice to let him roam without worrying about running into anyone. We did spot a few deer roaming around, so if your dog has a high prey drive be wary of that! Griffyn has decent recall so I was not worried about him chasing anything or trying to slip through the wire fencing, but if that is a concern for you I would highly recommend bringing a longline or drag line along as a backup! The hipcamp area is neat too, we checked out the cute little A-frame on site and may need to come camp for a night in the summer! We will definitely be regulars at the sniffspot though!

This was a great way to get our doggos out and let them run! They loved it so much. There is a two track road to walk. The dogs can get through the fence, but it’s enough of a barrier to keep them disinterested. We will definitely be back.
