Experts' Choice Award Seven-Mile Hole Trail
What the experts agree on
This steep 2.3-mile descent to the Yellowstone River rewards hikers with stunning views of Silver Cord Cascade and fewer crowds than rim trails, though the 1,000-foot elevation loss makes it demanding on the knees.
Fodor's "Challenging but generally uncrowded and peaceful 9.7-mile round-trip hike that begins near the North Rim's Inspiration Point." Full review
Frommer's "Seven Mile Hole Trail is a doozy: You’ll drop more than 1,000 feet in just 2.3 miles going from rim to river...stopping at overlooks with views of 1,200-foot Silver Cord Cascade across the canyon." Full review

Keep in mind that this exposed hike can be hot, and don’t underestimate the challenge of climbing back out of the canyon.
