• Between March 1, and November 30, Hermit Road can only be accessed by the free Hermits Rest (Red) Route shuttle bus, on foot, bicycle, or by commercial tour.

Movahe Point is a two-way shuttle stop with separate buses headed both west to Hermits Rest and east, returning to the Village.

Mohave Point features a spectacular view right at the shuttle stop.

The main viewpoint, however, is a short walk down the paved trail from the shuttle stop. Mohave Point primarily faces west, with a great view of the Colorado River far below, making this point a popular place for sunset.
