Hermit Trail

(Pass by)

The Hermit Trail is descends into the Hermit Basin, a beautiful trail in a side canyon that has rich pioneer history as well as well as plenty of fossils to view within its rocks. It is a steep, rocky trail, often at a tilted slant, with at times large steps down. About one mile down the trail well preserved fossil tracks are found in the Coconino Sandstone layer. “Riprap,” the cobblestone-like construction of rocks in this layer are still in place from its initial construction in 1911. Below the Hermit Basin into the Supai layer, the trail reaches Santa Maria Spring at 2.2 miles. The spring still flows, and a pioneer-era shade structure still stands for people to enjoy a shady rest. The canyon views are visible but are more distant along this trail, while close-up geology, archaeology, plant and animal life abound in this intimate side canyon.

There wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer and it felt like she catered the hike to our interests and skill level. The scenery was absolutely stunning! This proved to be a first rate operation. We were provided with trekking poles, day packs and a delicious lunch! The adventure was seamless from start to finish. Thanks so much AdventureHQ!
