Hermit's Rest is the endpoint of a stunning and epic ride in the Grand Canyon. Built in 1914, the structure is named after Louis Boucher, a Canadian-born prospector who staked claims near the site around 1891. With help, Boucher carved the trail into the canyon and lived alone at nearby Dripping Springs for many years. The ride is smooth and scenic, offering breathtaking canyon views. No cars are allowed on Hermit Road, making the experience even better, though shuttle buses still run. There's a small snack bar at Hermit’s Rest for a quick break. This is a must-do for any cycling enthusiast!

Mohave Point offers incredible views over the Grand Canyon, especially at sunset. You’ll also get a perfect view of the Tonto Trail winding deep into the canyon. The trail to the very tip of the point isn’t paved, so you can stop your bike and take a short hike to check it out.

This sheltered cove is home to a hanging garden, an interesting feature to see in the rocky Glen Canyon. A hanging garden is formed when a water source reaches an impermeable layer of rock and can no longer move downwards. The water then moves sideways across the rock and once it reaches the wall of a canyon, it seeps out of the rock. If there is an overhang that prevents the water from evaporation quickly, it creates an environment where plants can grow on the rock wall and on the ground below.

Mather Point Amphitheatre is a perfect place to contemplate the stunning views while seated in elevated seats made from native limestone. The amphitheatre hosts Ranger-led interpretive programs and is easily accessible from the Visitor Center.

This is the far western end of the Rim Trail, one of the most popular running trails in the park. There's a shuttle bus stop if you started to the east and don't want to run all the way back. At this point, the trail tends to be narrow and near the edge of the canyon, so it's no surprise the views are incredible. If you want a milder run, the section of the Rim Trail that runs between Mather Point and Powell Point is paved, and still has stunning views.

There is no parking at the trailhead for the South Kaibab Trail. If you need parking, you can leave your car at the Visitor Center, then take the Kaibab Route shuttle bus to the trailhead. The trail itself is a wonderfully well maintained dirt trail that gives you amazing views.

Lower Antelope Canyon is slightly longer and less busy that the more well known Upper section of the canyon. That being said you still need to book a guided tour in order to enter the canyon so be sure to get that taken care of early so you don't miss out.
