There are a few options for doing this hike, but following the line shown here, which circumnavigates the entire park, is highly recommended. The trail is flat, easy and obvious all the way as it loops around the park. The views from the hike are extraordinary, with the peaks surrounding Missoula close enough to see, but strangely distant thanks for the famous big sky which separates you from them.

The overall ambience is typically Montana-esque, with the grass quietly waving, the peaks in the distance, and the clouds dancing above you. There are no particular landmarks on the route - just strolling along and enjoying the ride is the name of the game here. The park is remarkably quiet, and you could easily walk this whole loop and only see a couple of people on the way, which really adds to the feeling of wild-ness.

One thing to be aware of is that there is a private ranch in the middle of the park - be careful to abide by any "private property" signs you see en route!

If you want a nice, easy cruise - this is the hike for you.
