Seven Mile Hole Trail

Glacial Boulder Trailhead is the starting point for the Seven Mile Hole Trail which leads to a basin in the middle of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone - one of the few spots where hikers can actually reach the river in the heart of the canyon. It is 5 miles from the trailhead to Seven Mile Hole. The trailhead is named after the nearby giant glacial erratic Glacial Boulder.

“The trail traverses through trees near the canyon rim and with some views of Silver Cord Cascade across the canyon. It descends a steep 1,200 feet (365 m) to the Yellowstone river and the return is just as steep! CAUTION Grizzly bears frequent this area. Watch your footing and conserve your energy. Be especially careful where the trail passes both dormant and active hot springs. Stay on the trail. The only reliable water source on the trail is the Yellowstone River, filter water before drinking.” (NPS)

Mount Washburn Spur Trail

“This 10.4-mile there-and-back trail runs from the junction of the Seven Mile Hole Trail, past the Washburn Hot Springs, and on up to the top of Mount Washburn.” (NPS)
