Hermits Rest Fireplace
The main structure currently standing at Hermits Rest was designed by architect Mary Colter. It is the most western point on the Canyon's South Rim. The fireplace is definitely used and seems to still be working fine.

Hermits Rest, Grand Canyon
Around 1891 a lady by the name of Louis Boucher had this place built here. It's called Hermits Rest and is the westernmost point on the Canyon's South Rim that is accessible by Coach or Trolley. The building was designed to appear to be a natural stone formation, closely tied to the land with the same color rocks. This is the porch overlooking the canyon.

Hermits Rest
In the old days after a streneous hike along the rim of the Grand Canyon people could stay here for a while. Today we get there by trolley and can find things at a little shop.
