Tally Loop is an awesome loop (or out-and-back) up to a great view of Tally Lake. It wiggles through a Ponderosa forest, interspersed with Larch and open spaces. Its a great place for a family hike/ride, especially if you're staying in the campground. There is a public beach at the campground for a quick dip in the deepest lake in Montana after your ride

Only rode the first couple hundred yards as was too challenging for our 7 yr old. Will come back in a couple years. Very very dry, crumbly trail.
