Shuttle Bus Stop — Hermit Road (Red) Route

Bicycle - Rack, Bus/Shuttle Stop, Wheelchair Accessible

Hermits Rest Route In service March 1, 2024, through November 30, 2024.
 

Pima Point is of the few places where it is possible to hear the Colorado River from the rim of Grand Canyon, on a relatively quiet day, and when wind conditions are just right.

Wait for the shuttle to pull away, then be as quiet as possible, and you may be able to hear the faint roar of Granite Rapid far below, a sound which just barely hints at the power of a river more than 3 miles (4.8 km) away.

Hermits Rest (Red) Route 

  • First bus is a 8 am. Last bus is one hour after sunset.
  • 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM (every 15 minutes)
  • 11:00 AM to one hour after sunset (every 10 minutes)
  • To ride the last bus, be at a bus stop 30 minutes after sunset.

Don't get caught out on Hermit Road in the dark without a ride back to the Village! 

The last return shuttle stops at all Hermit Road bus stops on the way back to the Village to ensure that no one is left behind.
