    Go in the winter months and you can drive to the Hermit's Rest

    We really enjoyed the ability to drive and do each of the scenic turnouts on Hermit's Rest road. On December 24, 2018, Christmas Eve, there were only a few cars, if any, on any of the scenic turnouts (e.g., Pima Point, Mohave Point, etc.). Hermit's...More
