Just before Inspiration Point is this huge granite boulder scooped up from the Beartooth Mountains, 15 miles away, by a glacier and deposited here 80,000 years ago. The Glacier Boulder Trail starts here for the 11-mile return hike to Sevenmile Hole. An easy, one-hour (2-mile) round-trip hike takes you along this trail, through forest and past intermittent canyon vistas to views of Silver Cord Cascade , the park’s highest falls (or rather, series of falls).
This is a particularly fine late-afternoon hike, but keep a tight rein on the kids, as there are no barriers between them and the sheer canyon drop-offs.
