The Dripping Springs Trail Junction is located in Hermit Basin, near the top of the Supai Formation about 1.6 miles (2.5 km) from the Hermit Trailhead.

The left fork in this photo leads to Dripping Springs, which is approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from this junction. The right fork in this photo is the Hermit Trail which descends to Santa Maria Springs .6 mile (1 km) from this junction, and continues an additional 6 miles (9.7 km) to the Campground at Hermit Creek. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn All overnight trips in the Grand Canyon require a backcountry permit. <a href="http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/backcountry-permit.htm" rel="nofollow">www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/backcountry-permit.htm</a> Plan your day so you are not hiking between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Take a break near shade and water to avoid the worst heat of day. Enjoy a predawn start and a late afternoon finish. Experienced desert hikers know that the timing of their hike is the most important factor in avoiding hazards. Most of the people who need emergency medical help in the canyon due to heat illness are hiking between 10am and 4pm. Even if you are eating and drinking correctly you still need to avoid hiking in direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. Sun temperatures are 15F to 20F (9C-11C) degrees hotter than posted shade temperatures. And keep in mind, the farther into the canyon you go the hotter it gets!

Hermit Camp predated Phantom Ranch by 10 years, and in its heyday was complete with a tramway from the rim, a functional automobile for transportation within the facility, and a Fred Harvey chef. Operations ceased in 1930, but for two decades Hermit Camp was the last word in gracious tourism below the rim. As is always the case at Grand Canyon, time and erosion have taken a heavy toll. The old Hermit Trail is today a mere shadow of its former self, but for experienced, knowledgeable canyon backpackers the walk offers a direct link to the excitement and romance of the early days at Grand Canyon.
