Angel fault occasionally passing through a cave formed out of
Kaibab limestone rock. This hike offers rock art (pictography),

Rim Trail
The best way to see the canyon without having
to experience the vertical challenges of hiking out. The
constant change in views make this trail one of the more breath
taking hikes in the canyon....better have lots of film for the
camera. Some of the highlights include: Yavapai Point, Hopi
house, Maricopa Point, the Abyss, Pima Point, and Hermit's Rest.
Distance: 9.7 miles one way (we will take the shuttle
back).

entire trail.

abundant with pinon, juniper, and even some fossilized reptile
tracks. The spring sits high above Hermit Creek Canyon with a
well shaded area covered in wild grapes.

Hermit to Dripping Springs
This hike follows the same trail as the Santa
Maria Spring before branching west towards a beautiful

roof of the sandstone alcove. The alcove provide great shade
while surrounded by ferns, thistle, and scarlet monkey flowers.
