Mount Jumbo (Salish: Sin Min Koos, meaning "obstacle" or "thing in the way"), also called Mount Loyola by some locals, is a mountain overlooking the city of Missoula in the U.S. state of Montana. It is northeast of the city's downtown and, in its majority, is publicly owned. In 1996, Jumbo was purchased from private landowners and protected from development. Funding for this purchase came from an open space bond, federal and non-profit agencies and thousands of local contributors. Additional land parcels have been purchased since then, increasing the easement to 1,800 acres (730 ha).
