0.0 FS-231, Pack River Road leaves US-2/US-95 at Walsh Lake and proceeds north for almost 20 miles to a point just south of Harrison Peak.
FS-2605 leaves FS-231 and climbs to the east, eventually reaching the ridge line near Dodge Peak. At this point, the road becomes FS-291. This road drops off the ridge and heads north until it connects with the extensive road system which leads into the range from Bonners Ferry.
Trail: FST-1, Roman Nose Trail. This trail climbs to the top of Apache Ridge and continues to the summit in 4.5 miles.
