Elevation: 4,085 feet
Hiking Distance: Drive-up
County: Kootenai
Access: Good roads to final spur, then high-clearance
Access:
The easiest access is via Fernan Lake Road, exit 15 off I-90 in Coeur d Alene. Just get off the freeway and start up the road passing houses, then the lake shore, then up a nice paved road into the mountains to Fernan Saddle. Continue south from the saddle on good gravel roads. The final road up to Kelly Mountain is probably best left to vehicles with some clearance if I remember correctly.
