| Description |
A hazy summer view from Powell Point along Hermit Road (West Rim Drive) on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn Between Maricopa and Hopi Points, The stone Powell Memorial at this viewpoint commemorates the 1869 and 1871-72 exploratory trips down the Colorado River by Major John Wesley Powell and his expedition crews. Stunning vistas can also be enjoyed from the top of the Memorial itself. In the photo, the Battleship formation is on the right, in a cloud shadow. 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.
