Question about trails in Canyon area

We will be staying at Canyon for 2 nights in August. Curious about construction in that area. Will it be difficult to get around the area on the north rim?

Will we be able to walk from the Canyon Cabins to th Brink of the lower falls, Lookout Point and way out to SilverCord Cascade Overlook???

Thanks,

Question about trails in Canyon area

As far as I know there%26#39;s no construction planned for the North Rim this year. On the south rim the road is closed past the overlook nearest the lower falls. I%26#39;ve heard that when they%26#39;re finished with the south rim they%26#39;ll start on the northrim road and plan to reverse the one-way traffic eventually.

I%26#39;ve not hiked in that area but the map doesn%26#39;t show a trail from the cabins to the Brink of the lower falls. Doesn%26#39;t mean there isn%26#39;t one and you could walk along the road part of the way. Once you%26#39;re near the canyon there%26#39;s a trail along the rim. Here%26#39;s the map I looked at.

They are planning to do construction on the North rim of the canyon area this summer. See articel in the Spring 2008 edition of Yellowstone Today for details:

Construction will continue on the South Rim this year. You can park in the parking lot at Uncle Tom%26#39;s cabin again and hike down, but not back to Artist Point. There will also be construction on the North Rim roads this year. The decision about what/if hiking trails will be affected will be decided by the Canyon rangers, probably later this spring.

Yellowstonefan is local so his info may be more accurate, but according to the article in Yellowstone Today which is published by the Park Service, the work on the South Rim has been completed. It indicates that Artist point will be open but overlooks (at least the roads to them) will be closed on the North rim this summer.
