Hermit Road

Hermit Road in Grand Canyon, Arizona, is a scenic and historic route that offers breathtaking views of the canyon. Constructed in 1934-1935, the road has been rehabilitated to ensure safety and accessibility while preserving its historical integrity. Visitors can explore the road by taking the free Hermit Road Red Route shuttle bus, which operates from March 1st to November 30th, or by accessing it on foot or bicycle throughout the year. With nine canyon overlooks and a round-trip ride of approximately 80 minutes, Hermit Road provides an unforgettable experience for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers.

The rehabilitation project of Hermit Road, completed in 2008, widened and resurfaced the road, improved shuttle bus stops and pedestrian routes, and constructed a new three-mile Greenway Trail for bicyclists and pedestrians. The project also focused on protecting the road's historical integrity and restoring damaged areas, including a rare plant population and native vegetation. With the collaboration of various entities and the hard work of construction crews and volunteers, Hermit Road reopened in November 2008, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon.
