Itinerary description
|
Magnificent walk from the Hermits Rest to the "Village", by the edge, so to speak, of the Grand Canyon.
In the Village, we take the free bus that will take us to the end of the road, to the point called Hermits Rest and from there we walk back along a path that follows the edge of the "precipice" that we have on our left.
There are several bus stops throughout the route, so if someone gets tired, they can take it back.
We rated it as moderate, because of the great heat it made, so it is convenient to bring enough water, at least in summer.
From the Trailview Overlook, there are magnificent views of the path that follows the Bright Angel Trail, of which we also played a part.
Although Wikiloc marks as unevenness more than 600 m. the road is very flat, with some small slopes, but not much less 600m.
