'''Hermit's Rest''' is a structure built in 1914 at the western end of Hermit Road, at the south rim of the [[Grand Canyon]] in [[Arizona]], [[United States]]. The main structure of Hermit's Rest was designed by southwest architect [[Mary Colter]]. Hermit's Rest is the westernmost stop on the south rim and now contains a snack bar and gift shop.
It was one of four [[Mary Jane Colter Buildings]] that, as a set, was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] and declared to be a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1987.
The [[Hermit Trail]], a [[hiking]] [[trail]] that extends to the [[Colorado River]], begins about ΒΌ mile beyond the shuttle bus stop at Hermit's Rest. Hermit's Rest also represents the western terminus of the [[Rim Trail]].
''Hermit's Rest'' will be closing on April 1, 2008 since the road to it will be reconstructed. For more information see: http://www.nps.gov/grca/parkmgmt/hermit.htm
