North Chilco Road

Trail Overview

This well-graded road will continue North from Horse Haven Airfield (a World War II training site). You will find plenty of disbursed camping in this area. The grade is easy, but with years of heavy traffic, when wet, have created some decent-sized potholes and some rocky sections. Watch for wild berries and oncoming traffic with narrow sections. Once you have reached the top you will have some limited views of Lake Pend Oreille and a few different route choices to descend off the mountain. There is no winter maintenance & cell phone service is limited depending on the carrier.
