Double Arrow Lo is a short mountain biking route in Montana's Lolo National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The ride is about 0.2 miles long, with a low point of 4,808 feet and a high of 4,922 feet, so it's a quick climb of about 80 feet. The steepest stretch comes at roughly 0.14 miles in, with a grade of about 3 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Seeley Lake show July and August highs around 83°F with lows in the low 40s, and those months also see the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits about 800 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Double Arrow Lookout lies about half a mile away, and the W Bypass from Arch-Eglwatch is under a mile off. The Archibald Loop hike is about a mile away, and River Point Campground Complex is roughly 1.7 miles away for an overnight stay.
