Hermit Canyon is a north-trending
Grand Canyon Village, and the South Rim at Pima Point trends southward, as the start of Western Grand Canyon
; it also marks the terminus of the West Rim Road.
Hermit Canyon contains the Hermit Basin at its southern end, with Dripping Springs (and Dripping Springs Trail to the west). The Hermit Trail traverses the east flank of Hermit Canyon down to the Colorado River, where it intersects the Tonto Trail at Cope Butte. At the end of Hermit Creek, and Canyon, the Hermit Rapids interrupt the flow of the Colorado River. Historic Hermit Camp was located at the end of the Hermit Trail, near the Colorado River.
