Grand Canyon Private Hermits Rest Hiking Tour

Private Hiking Excursion for Your Group Only!

Explore little known springs hidden in the depths of the Grand Canyon.  Abundant shade, maidenhair fern, crimson monkey flowers and wild grapes surround these rare water sources.  Over 80% of the canyon’s biodiversity surrounds these springs.  The trail drops steeply at first, but levels out nicely for the second half of the hike.

This hiking trip includes a very small tailored group (normally 6 or less people) and includes a back pack, picnic lunch, and hiking poles.  It is highly recommended to book this trip early as availability is extremely limited.

• 5 miles round trip (1300 feet vertical)
• You are picked up directly at your hotel.  The exact pick up time at your hotel in Flagstaff, Williams, or Grand Canyon South Rim hotels (including Tusayan) will be confirmed at the time of booking.  Approx. 8:00am-10:30am depending on time of year.
• Approx time from pick up and return to your hotel is 6-7 hours

The policy also has great features such as medical evacuation and other medical related benefits NOT covered by most individual health plans. We can assist in obtaining travel insurance.
