Munger Mountain is a hard hike in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest, within the Jackson Ranger District. The route is an out-and-back of about 15.6 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of 1,254 feet, from a low point of 6,410 feet to a high of 7,121 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trailhead is known as the Munger Mountain Motorized Trailhead. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Jackson, at a lower elevation, show July highs around 79°F with lows near 41°F, and snow is common from November through April. Dogs and bikes are both allowed on the route. The closest neighbors are the Big Munger Trail, about 1.3 miles away, and the South Fork Fall Creek and Rock Creek Trail hikes, within about 2 miles. Fall Creek, a canoeing spot, lies about 3.2 miles off.
