Two Top Loop (Snowmo) is a short, low-elevation mountain biking loop in the Hebgen Lake Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana, about a mile long with a total elevation gain of 10 feet. The route starts at about 6,660 feet and ends at about 6,650 feet, so it's a nearly flat ride with a slight descent at the end. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 80°F and lows near 39°F in July, while winter highs there sit in the mid-20s with lows near zero. The loop makes an easy addition to time spent in the area. The Yellowstone Shortline hike is about 0.4 miles away, and the YRR Finish cross-country ski route is about 0.6 miles away. Hebgen Lake District, a fishing area, is about 1.2 miles off, and Bakers Hole Campground is about 3.2 miles away for an overnight stay.
