Summary
Fabulous views, a backcountry thermal feature and a descent into the Yellow-
stone Canyon that feels like it's '5 miles in and 7 miles out.'
This excellent overnight shuttle hike takes you to the top of one of the park's highest
peaks and then down, down, down to Sevenmile Hole, a minor hydrothermal area at the
bottom of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. It's not a particularly long hike, but it
does involve a lot of elevation change (most of it downhill). When the insect hatch is on,
the backcountry sites at Sevenmile Hole are very popular, so book your spot well in ad-
vance.
