Myrtle Peak is one of the easier Selkirk Peaks to climb as a trail leads to its summit and the road to the trailhead is better than many Selkirk roads. USGS The Wigwams
To reach the trailhead from Bonners Ferry, drive east to the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge. From this point, take the Westside Road 1.3 miles to Myrtle Creek Road/FSR-633 and continue for 10.0 miles. Turn right onto FSR-2406. It is 3.0 miles to the trailhead. A 4WD is required. Follow the trail for 3.0 miles and, just before the summit, you will find a side trail that leads the last few feet to the summit. The trail continues on past the peak to Myrtle Peak. The summit offers great views and, perhaps, the best view of Lions Head. Click here for a nice write up for this peak.
This Forest Service map will help orient you for the approach. Use a Panhandle National Forest map and a USGS topo for the hike.
