Hermit Trail - Grand Canyon National Park - AZ - a trail abandoned during 1931

Hermit Trail located in the Grand Canyon National Park is the next logical step for people that have already been over the South Kaibab and Bright Angel trails. The trail has been abandoned since 1931 and is a bight rougher than other trails in the area although it is still rather easy to follow. The Corridor trails are more kept up than the Hermit which has a number of rockslides at the Supai traverse.

The Santa Fe Railroad constructed the trail which leads to the Hermit Creek campsite during 1912. The campsite at the bottom of the Hermit Trail is below what remains of a railroad tourist camp. The camp is beside the Hermit Creek.

There is a route that goes around what is left of trail heads farther down the canyon all the way to the Colorado River's beach camp by the Hermit Creek Rapids. The Grand Canyon National Park does not allow camping before the Hermit Creek campsite. Hikers should plan to hike down in a day.

The Hermit Trail although it has not been kept up since it was abandoned during 1931 but remains passable. The trail offers visitors a unique view of some of the most amazing sites in the country possibly the world and is well worth the time it takes to maneuver.
