I liked all of the views on the Hermit ridge trail, but having to ride a bus wasted a large portion of the day. More

You can stay on the bus or get off as often as you like, and linger and the photo ops just don't stop. CLEAN air, peace and quiet. More

there is nothing to say bad about it. in summer could be very very hot. dont forget at least three water bottles per person, loose clothes and good shoes if you prefer to walk. I would encourage do the walk. preferable months should be may and september, because in summer can be very very hot. More

Note that most reviews here are for Hermit's Rest not for the Hermit Trail. Hermit's Rest is the facility at the end point of the road heading west out of the South Rim Village.

We didn't hike (we're too old for that stuff!) but took the tour bus to Hermit's Rest. We were happy to see the availability of water and restroom facilities here (there aren't any elsewhere on the route.) The buillding that houses the gift shop is very interesting and in keeping with the landscape. More

I drove from Cameron to Tusayan on the Hermit Road, stopping at Desert View along the way. It was amazing and perfect to get a first view of the Grand Canyon! More

Beautiful beyond words!!! My son could see all the views without having to get his wheelchair and him out. Just rolled the windows down. And in some spots opened the door for him too. More

Dont miss the Hermit trail. You will miss part of the Grand Canyon experience if you don't go. More
