Hams Fork-Red Park is a hard hike in the Kemmerer Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming, about 16.5 miles from the town of Border Junction. The trail is an out-and-back route of about 24 miles, with a one-way climb of roughly 1,692 feet from a low point of about 8,000 feet to a high of about 9,880 feet. The trail is on natural surface, and it allows both horses and bikes, according to the Forest Service's trail records. That makes it a practical choice for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. Hams Fork Campground sits just under a mile away, and the Hams Fork Area fishing waters are about a mile off. Elk Creek Ridge and Indian Creek Ridge are both within about 3 miles, so the surrounding area offers plenty of other hiking to pair with this one.
