There are many places to visit in the Grand Canyon, but Hermits Rest beats them all. Please click the photo gallery for more photos of this amazing place. The Hermits Rest plaque says, "Constructed in 1914. Named for Louis Boucher, a prospector and miner, Hermit's Rest is built into the side of this hill where Hermit's Rim Road ends and Hermit's Trail begins. Using native stone and wood, Mary Jane Colter designed the building to provide modern comforts garbed in primitive quaintness for the convenience of the traveler. The Santa Fe Railroad built Hermit's Rim Road as an alternative to the Bright Angel Trail, which was a toll road at that time.
