Bungalow Mtn. is a hard hike in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, part of the Spotted Bear Ranger District of Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a natural-surface out-and-back that climbs from about 5,084 feet to about 7,961 feet over a round-trip distance of about 16.5 miles. The one-way gain is about 2,864 feet. The trail is not accessible, and bikes are not allowed. Horses are permitted, so it works for riders as well as hikers. Wall Creek lies just 0.2 miles away, and Hart Creek and Pot Mtn. are both within about a mile and a half. The Spotted Bear River, a canoeing route, is about 3 miles off.
