I've been into that area a couple of times. The Dennis Nichols' guide 'Trails of the Wild Cabinets' ($14) is what I've used. You can get a map of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness at the outdoor store in downtown Sandpoint. You might also want to supplement that map with a more detailed 15 minute map of the area where you will be hiking. It's a lovely wilderness. Enjoy!
