Summary
[edit]DescriptionGrand Canyon National Park Starting Down Hermit Trail 3937 (7426466940).jpg |
As hikers on the Hermit Trail leave "Trail Top Gulch," they get their first panoramic view of Grand Canyon. The upper section of the Hermit Trail is steep and sustained, dropping almost 2000 vertical feet (610 m) in the first 2.5 miles (4 km). Passage through the Kaibab and Coconino Formations is via well-defined switchbacks. 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>
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.
