Keno Ridge is a hard hike in Idaho's Idaho Panhandle National Forests, on the Bonners Ferry Ranger District. The trail is a loop of about 6.3 miles, with a total elevation gain of 2,248 feet, taking you from a low point of 3,616 feet to a high of 6,334 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open from June 1 to September 30. The route is natural-surface and allows both horses and bikes. It is not an accessible trail. Plan for about three hours on the loop, and the Keno Creek parking area is the trailhead. Nearby, the North Fork Meadow Creek Tie and Montana Line hikes are both within about 3 miles. Deer Ridge Lookout and the Meadow Creek campground sit a little farther out, and the Moyie River offers canoeing about 5 miles away.
