Well the views are fantastic anywhere in the Grand Canyon park and this is no different. But the Stone structure... which is now a gift shop with an amazing fireplace is a warm and nice site to visit. Fantastic place to wind down a bit and have some warm apple cider or hot chocolate and enjoy the big fireplace before... More

I walked by here to get to Hermit Trail. The view was nice but I didn't spend much time here. Two things you may wanna know though. (1) There are bathrooms and fountain water and (2) there's a gift shop close by that sells hot drink. You would really appreciate it if you come here in winter.

Most people bypass the trip out to Hermit's rest because of the time involved, but for those who take the time they are rewarded with the best views of the canyon and the river in all of the park.

Like all the stops along the South rim, you get amazing and very close views of the canyon. What makes this place different is three things: 1) Ravens - this stop is known for all the ravens that hang out and fly around.

Wonderful views of the canyon and river! Got some wonderful pictures here and there are facilities available at this stop (which is NOT usual)!

Dec-March you can drive this trail and we did so last Dec... the views on the trail were great as all reviewers here agree... however, in the freezing cold, this destination was totally worth it... the roaring fire was most welcome and the antique decor added to the charm and the overall experience Hermit's Rest was built in 1914 at...

This is the topmost point of south rim and need less to say, just like any other trail/view in south rim, provides some wonderful views. Nature at its best this area.

Overall Hermit's Rest wouldn't be such a worthy destination if not for all the scenic views on the way. It is an interesting little historic building with a small shop and snack bar.

Everyone says you must see Hermit's Rest, the last stop on the South Rim Shuttle Bus. I found other viewpoints much more aesthetic and exciting. Here you will find an overpriced snack bar as well as a gift shop. which sells great books about the Grand Canyon. The building is interesting and very cozy with chairs and a fireplace (not... More
