Teton Wilderness - direct route from Hidden Canyon to the N Fork Yellowstone River?

[Fungi]

For my trip this summer, I am considering trying to go cross country from the headwaters of Hidden Creek south to the N Fork of the Yellowstone. The Mountain Rabbit posted a great report last summer where he climbed from Hidden Canyon up to Point 11,798' and then continued on the Thorofare Plateau. I would follow the same route initially, but then I'd like to get down to the N Fork Yellowstone. Has anyone here done that, or looked into the possibility? Between the topo map and Google Earth, it looks like descending the ridge at 44.01823, -109.89348 might work.

I believe that @Kmatjhwy has described going from Hidden Creek to Thunder Mountain to the NF of Yellowstone. I read it here, so a little searching might find you more info.

I've spent time looking at the map and your point into that valley looks like the obvious way to the NF.

Yes you can get down...at the pass below point 10842 head down, pic your route. I have that on good Beta.

Thanks! I found his description, which matches up with the route I'm considering. It is good to know that it "goes".
