I just did this exact hike; awesome, but very challenging. All of Red Peak Pass is covered in snow; no visible path and difficult to traverse. Stay up high and once through the pass, keep right!
And your smiles do stand out. Got stopped multiple times exiting the park by day hikers around Vernal and Nevada Falls; all were very jealous.
Thank you backpacker!
