Three Sisters is a 4.9-mile out-and-back hike in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, part of the Spotted Bear Ranger District of Flathead National Forest in northwest Montana. The trail climbs from about 5,300 feet to roughly 6,800 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,484 feet, and is rated moderate. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is natural-surface, not accessible, and allows horses but not bikes. The trip is open year-round, and the surrounding wilderness makes it a destination for a full day in the backcountry. Bungalow Mtn. and Wall Creek are both about 3 miles away, and the Spotted Bear River offers canoeing about 3.5 miles off. Pot Mtn. sits roughly 4.3 miles from the trail.
