    Summer of 1973, I'm a flat-lander from Maine working for the summer at the new post office at Lake. I foolishly bushwacked into 7 Mile Hole from a switch-back on the road up to Mt. Washburn. Didn't kill myself, but tried pretty hard sliding down a scree slope toward the river. Couldn't entice a cutthroat with a sofa pillow, so I cheated and tied a freshly hatched salmon fly onto a bare hook. Trout simply stripped the flies off the hook. I remember the hike out on the trail to Canyon Village as being rather brutal but I learned a lot that day of being better prepared for hiking in the back-country. After spending a lot of my career out west, I'm now 73, retired and living back in Maine and missing Yellowstone. I'm revisiting vicariously through your videos; thanks for posting.

    Thank you so much for taking us on your hikes. This one was especially spectacular. I've been to Yellowstone, seen all the tourist spots but I love going with you to all of the off boardwalk, back country features of the park. Thank you for taking me with you and the pleasant conversation.

    Our family was going to be staying at both Old Faithful Lodge and Mammoth in early October 2022. However, due to the closure of Mammoth, we have decided to cancel our trip to Yellowstone this fall and re-schedule to late May 2023. While I have been to Yellowstone numerous times, I have never hiked the Seven Mile Hole. Your video is definitely prompted me to consider hiking the Seven Mile Hole next year. Thanks for the great video.

    Great videography! You're an excellent guide. Thanks for thinking of this trail to share with us. You're really fit and knowledgeable to take such an descent/ascent, but man what beautiful scenery, and the luck of hearing that tree limb fall. Spectacular. Would love to hear more about the meaning of place names, such as the coltrane (?) that you mentioned. What is that? You're an excellent guide. Keep it coming, keep it beautiful, and may the rest of your summer just keep getting better each and every week ⛰🏞🥾🥾

      Thanks! I think you may be referring to my mention of John Colter, an early explorer who was part of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. He was the first Euro-American to report his encounters with the bizarre world of Yellowstone & its thermal features. Upon his return to society, most thought he’d lost his mind & was hallucinating out there in the wild world. Thus, the non-believing called this place Colter’s Hell…
      His stories are cool, but pale somewhat when compared with the tale of Truman Everts, who spent 37 days separated from his party, wandering in the Yellowstone wilderness… Thanks for watching & stay tuned for more FUN

    It's funny that you mentioned "if it's hard going down, it's going to be a duzzy coming back up." I will choose a trail based on just the fact that the uphill happens first. I will hike UP to a sight but I will almost never hike DOWN to one. I have to save some for the trip back and I rarely do so that makes it easier for me.

      I’ve heard numerous reasons for this name… like that although it is only 5 miles back out, it feels like seven.. I doubt that one. More likely that this spot is 7 miles downstream from Lower Falls…
      I personally like the option that the dead geyser used to run 7 miles deep… That’s Park Junkie’s hypothesis. 😎

    Thanks! You've been my #1 source of Yellowstone information for my upcoming trip.

    • @theparkjunkie
      @theparkjunkie  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! As far as solo hiking, I often hike alone & don’t really think anything of it. Been doing it since I was a child, but I grew up in the woods. Water: the streams would provide decent water once treated, but on a hike of this length, I just carry enough to get me through. If camping, I would filter from the riverside. That water would be great. Thanks for watching!

      Most of these trees are dead fall. The only ones cut have already fallen, & trail crews just cut them out of the trail.

The old rot, and feed nutrients back to the soil... the cycle of life my friend... the cycle of life...

      @@vs-yy5cx well, I could have drastically botched that Seven Mile Hole estimate…😕
      That complete hike took me about six hours. I took a nap down by the river for a while, & played around on the cliffs looking for a good pano shot, so that took a bit of extra time. I’d say your 5 hour estimate is good, but give extra time for chillin…

    Did this hike in 2017. Worst one in the park in my opinion.

      Maybe you should try it in a storm... then the last trip will have sucked less... 😏

    could you mention now and then how dogs are forbidden?
    www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/pets.htm
    Pets must be physically controlled at all times: they must be in a car, in a crate, or on a leash no more than six feet long.
    Pets are not allowed on boardwalks, hiking trails, in the backcountry, or in thermal areas.
    Thanks!

      Dogs are usually not allowed on national park trails. Many parks back east allow dogs on trail, leashed of course, but I cannot think of a single western park that allows K9 access to trails. Try the national forests, as such restrictions are generally much more lenient toward dogs.
