There and Back
Ross Pass is a broad, easily recognizable saddle that marks the halfway point between the northern and southern ends of the Bridger Range. The simplest approach is from the Middle Fork Brackett trailhead on the east side of the range. It's an easy trail with minimal elevation gain and exceptional views making it perfect for an evening or half-day hike. One could spend hours relaxing on the saddle, which is lush with grasses and wildflowers, or exploring the surrounding terrain which includes Ross Peak, the gnarliest peak in the Bridgers and popular climbing spot for locals. The peak towers an additional 1400' above the saddle to the north and the up-close views are truly awe-inspiring.
All Clear
Decent amount of dirt bikers and some hikers. Couple of wet and muddy spots, but mostly dry. A good amount of wildflowers. The trail is not very shaded, so it was very warm.
