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).

cobblestone trail is 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

flowers.
