Haggerty Ridge is a 4.7-mile out-and-back hike in Idaho's Idaho Panhandle National Forests, within the St. Joe Ranger District. The trail rises from about 3,050 feet to a high point of 4,466 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,418 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is rated moderate. The trail is natural-surfaced and open to both horses and bikes. It is not an accessible trail. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 84°F in July, and the station sits well below the ridge, so temperatures up high run cooler. The trail is open from June 1 to September 30. Nearby, Craddock Ridge and Black Jack Peak are both within about 3.5 miles. Whitetail Peak and the Conrad Crossing campground are about 4 miles away.
