Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Maricopa Point is 0.7 miles (1.1 km) beyond First Trail View on Hermit Road (West Rim Drive) on the South Rim of the park, as rain clouds parted on July 25, 2017.

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.

Along the rim are nine designated viewpoints where the free Hermits Rest Route shuttle bus stops. The Rim Trail also follows the rim of the canyon for 7.8 miles (12.6 km) along Hermit Road and offers the opportunity for short or long walks between viewpoints on both paved and dirt trails.

[Image description: At the end of a long paved footpath, seven people are behind a metal guard rail out at a scenic overlook. On both sides of the overlook are sheer cliffs. Colorful peaks and ridges are seen on the other side of the canyon, beyond a dark granite river gorge. The sky is bright blue with many fluffy white clouds overhead.] NPS/M.Quinn
