Grand Canyon Hermit's Rest

On the second day in Grand Canyon National Park, Jes and I took the Hermit's Rest shuttle to the viewpoints along its route.

To get to the Hermit's Rest shuttle, one must take a Blue Line shuttle to a transfer stop west of Grand Canyon Village to take the Red Line Shuttle. Except for the Red Line, the other shuttles can be boarded at the main shuttle stop near the Visitor Center in Grand Canyon Village.

Along the way, the Red Line Shuttle stops include Rim Trail, Powell Memorial, Mohave Point, The Abyss, Pima Point and Hermit's Rest (along with trails).

Here's some photos from the Hermit's Rest route:
