It's snowing outside so it's that time of year for planning my summer trip. I've fished the 2nd and 3rd meadows of Slough Creek in Yellowstone several times. I have started researching Frenchy's Meadow on Slough Creek.

I would like to know if the way to get there is up Slough Creek from the Yellowstone campground or if there is a shorter route coming from Cooke City or another trailhead? Also am wondering how this area compares to the sections of Slough Creek within the park (water size, fishing, crowds, wild life, etc).
