West Rim Drive

From Grand Canyon Village, starting at the Bright Angel Trailhead, the Hermits Rest Drive, or the West Rim Drive, is generally accessed by foot or the shuttle. There is very little parking at the viewpoints so the shuttle makes it possible to see them.
Hermits Rest
Hermits Rest. From the eastern end of the road accessible park, the views include the river and the desert to the east.
Pima Point
Pima Point. At least I think it is Pima.
Hopi Point
Hopi Point.
Mohave Point
Mohave Point. But the desert is spelled Mojave.
Maricopa Point
Maricopa Point. You have views back to the lodge area. It is hard to imagine snow in Grand Canyon while resting at Phantom Ranch in August (or even in April), but the elevation changes from the top to the bottom make for a variety of weather.
Bright Angel Trailhead<
Bright Angel Trailhead. 6860ft/2091M. The Shuttle starts here. It is a short walk to the rim lodges and a reasonable walk to the Maswik facility.
