Great views located in this area. We were looking forward to a snack but unfortunately, it was not open. (It was after 5) We were able to get some water, which sufficed.

Last stop on the red line shuttle is Hermits Rest. Good history, scenic and picnic spot but should not be destination for a meal unless you bring your own.

Not as dramatic as I had hoped for. A ho-hum finish after a wonderful hike. Small gift shop and some historical info. Expensive snacks water and bathrooms.

In summer you get here by shuttle only and the view is OK. Shuttle supports staying here for sunset (cant comment because we had several thunderstorms when we were here)

Another great viewpoint on the Rim Trail but with an added bonus of restrooms, snacks and pretty good coffee as well as a gift shop. Start the rim trail here and work our way to the other end. if you get tired hop on the convenient shuttle to the next viewpoint.

We actually enjoyed the Shuttle Bus ride more than the stop at Hermit's Rest. Along the ride we opted to exit a the Hopi Point and Pima Point overlooks; it was nice to be able to see sections of the Colorado River and rapids far below.

We got an early shuttle bus to avoid the crowds and got here by 8am, hoping for a decent coffee and a pasty to start our day. Try and have breakfast before you go, neither the coffee or the service were great! The views however are spectacular, and this is really why you're here. The shuttle buses stop at every...

The red bus line takes tourists to several stops before reaching Hermit's Rest. Each view is wonderful, not to be missed. We did not hike down Hermit's Rest but enjoyed bathrooms, lunch, soft drinks, and ice cream after our busy morning.
