Chilco Trail #14 provides access to two of the highest summits on the Fernan Ranger District. There is no potable water, several good overnight camp sites at the top in the saddle between North and South Chilco Mountains. Great view of the Purcell Trench, Coeur d' Alene, Cabinet and Selkirk Mountain Ranges.
