This trail starts out on some old double track but turns to single-track after just a short distance. You can stay in the saddle until the last steep before the viewpoint at the top of the cliffs.
Once you pass the cliffs the trail has some nice flow with a few short ups before your final decent to an old logging road. From this point there are a few options to get back to where you started or to the shuttle rig you parked at the end of the old road. Nothing too technical on this trail and you get one of the best views of Tally lake available.
