Hermits Rest Route In service March 1, 2024, through November 30, 2024.

Movahe Point is a two-way shuttle stop with separate buses headed both west to Hermits Rest and east, returning to the Village.

Mohave Point features a spectacular view right at the shuttle stop.

The main viewpoint, however, is a short walk down the paved trail from the shuttle stop. Mohave Point primarily faces west, with a great view of the Colorado River far below, making this point a popular place for sunset.
