    This trail goes right along the rim. It also leads to an overlook that is very pretty. I would say it's about .5 mile roundtrip. The views are out of this world.

    Before arriving at the Grand Canyon, we read several warnings that the only maintained trails into the canyon on the south side were the Bright Angel and South Kaibab Trails and that you would hike others at your own risk. Well, since we knew we'd be mule-riding those trails, we opted to take the risk and we were glad we did. We hiked a little-traveled trail called the Hermit's Trail, where we hardly passed any other hikers -- this in one of America's busiest parks. Of course, the prize of loneliness has a price -- danger -- so we had to make sure we were well-stocked with water and kept track of our time in the broiling sun. However, that wasa small price to pay for a beautiful solitude and the joy of NOT hiking the Bright Angel and South Kaibab Trails. When we road tose routes, we immediately learned the additional perils hikers face there -- passing colums of mules kicking up dust clouds and creating lakes of urine and buttes of feces on the "maintained" path! No thanks!

  • Directions: Take West Rim Drive 8 miles to a pullout called Hermit's Rest. The Trailhead is up a dirt path.

    The perfect introductory hike and recommended for adults with children. Follows the rim from Yavapai Point to Hermits Rest. This trail will take you to all the usual South Rim attractions. The trail is paved from Yavapai Point west to Maricopa Point. 18 miles round trip, 10 hours. But you can you can catch a shuttle bus back the other way.

    Duh! you are here for the shear beauty of the place. There is great hiking here if you have the time. The south rim is pretty well full of tourists, but if you are willing to hike a bit, you can have some peace and quiet of your own.

    Spend more than a few hours - a couple of days at least if you can to take your time and savour the stunning vista. Head downwards down the well-marked pathways and see the canyon from a different perspective.
