Summary: This is a great hike with one sustained uphill section with amazing views and great wildflowers at the top. on either side of the pass the hiking is easy with the exception of two stream crossings. Best hiked just after the snow has melted as the trail is mostly exposed, it can get pretty hot. I have spotted all maijor predators as well as elk, deer and bison. Some beautiful campgrounds can be had on the crystal clear gallatin river for an amazing overnight. A loop can be made by coming in on the fawn pass trail and cutting over on the link trail on the backside (recommended). Trailhead: From mammoth hot springs drive south toward old faithful and the madison junction. About 6 miles south of mammoth park at the warming hut at indian creek campground. the trailhead is across the dirt road from the hut.
