(2885 x 3913) Along the Hermit Road on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, the overlook named the Abyss provides an almost vertical view down into the canyon, looking down into the Monument Creek drainage area where backpackers - with a permit - may camp next to Monument Creek or on a small beach along the Colorado River at Granite Rapids. NPS photo by Michael Quinn 0.9 miles, 1.4 km west from here to Monument Creek Vista on dirt trail 1.1 miles, 1.8 km east from here to Mohave Point on dirt trail Hermit Road is a scenic route along the west end of Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim which follows the rim for 7 miles (11 km) out to Hermits Rest. This extremely popular route is accessed by free park shuttle bus, foot, bicycle, or commercial bus tour most of the year, with private vehicles allowed only during winter months. Along the rim are nine designated viewpoints where the free Hermits Rest Route shuttle bus stops. The Rim Trail also follows the rim of the canyon for 7.8 miles (12.6 km) along Hermit Road and offers the opportunity for short or long walks between viewpoints on both paved and dirt trails.
