I went in from the east slope of the Winds as well, west of Lander and Sinks Canyon, near the Popo Agie River. Say that last name wrong and the locals KNOW that "you ain't from 'round here." (personal experience).
The trailhead that I went to was not hard to get to, was within a reasonable hiking distance of some lakes with goldens, and I didn't have to pay top dollar, since the trailhead wasn't on indian land. I'm thinking of going back, perhaps as soon as next summer, and I'd go to the same place without hesitation.
