Hermits Rest

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!
