Tally Mountain Trail Work Day with Wild Montana

This spring and summer, Wild Montana’s Flathead Kootenai Chapter will be maintaining the Tally Mountain Trail. We hope you’ll join us in giving back to our trail system and helping us to educate our trail users by joining a Tally trail workday in May or June. No prior experience is necessary.

The Tally Mountain trail is one of the quieter in our Tally Lake area system. We began to take care of this trail last summer, and we can’t wait to return to clean the new drains we installed, clear brush, and get it ready for a summer of quiet use. We’ll provide all tools and training, plus a carpool to the trailhead from Kalispell.

If you’re interested in joining us or have questions about what the workday will look like send an email to flathead-kootenai@wildmontana.org.
