Trail Overview

Character Ridge is USFS road #620, a lightly used well maintained route in the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. It rises from Coeur d'Alene River Road and has lots of tight turns. There are no camping or bathrooms on the route, and deer and elk are infrequently found due to proximity to town. The route ascends to Moon Saddle at 4,669 feet, where Montgomery-Moon Ridge heads south toward Interstate 90 and the other two eventually converge and go southeast toward Interstate 90. There has been logging activity in the area, be on the lookout for logging trucks. There is cell phone reception along this route.
