Grand Canyon RIM TRAIL

The Rim Trail is one of the most popular hikes in the Grand Canyon National Park.
We hiked the western section from Grand Canyon Village to "Hermits Rest".

From the Grand Canyon Visitor Center we took the blue shuttle bus to the west side of Grand Canyon Village.
Then we hiked the Rim Trail to the most western point "Hermits Rest".
From there we took the red bus back to the village and changed to the blue bus back to the visitor center.

Variations:

If you find parking in the east of the village you don't need the shuttle bus of course.
We didn't try to find parking there, because we didn't want to be stressed with searching.
Worst case you lose a lot of time finding a place to park.

You can start your hike from the easternmost point at "South Kaibab" if you have enough time.
You have to take the "yellow" bus then.

You can take the red shuttle bus all the way to "Hermits Rest" and then hike back to the village.
So the opposite direction of our hike.
We thought about it...
But in our opinion the bus trip west to Hermits Rest takes longer than the trip east back to the village
Because on the way west the bus stops at ALL viewpoints, on the way east it just stops a couple of times.
