Description

2 HORSE-DRAWN TOURING COACHES TRAVELING ON THE NEWLY COMPLETED HERMIT ROAD (WEST RIM DRIVE) 05 DECEMBER 1911. PHOTO BY SMITH, USNFS.

Hermit Road is a scenic route along the west end of Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim which follows the rim for 7 miles (11 km) out to Hermits Rest. This extremely popular route is accessed by free park shuttle bus, foot, bicycle, or commercial bus tour most of the year, with private vehicles allowed only during winter months of December, January and February.

The location from where this photo was taken is along the current day Greenway Trail, south of Pima Point. This section of trail follows the original 1911 alignment of Hermit Road. Along the Greenway Trail, there are six overlooks, including Pima Point, in addition to multiple resting areas along the trail.
