You can hike to the L but my favorite hikes on Mount Jumbo are up Lincoln Hills Drive where you can do a lovely 4-ish mile loop (North Loop Trail) that shows great views of East Missoula, the Clark Fork, the Bitterroot Valley, and Missoula.

Go on a guided fishing trip! This is the town A River Runs Through It was based on! It would be a shame to come to Missoula and not learn to cast a fly rod. We are avid fly fisher people and we love this shop. They got everything you need to get out there and some great guides that will get you into some big fish!
