AZT Day 43: Grand Canyon Tourist

ByPurple Haze Posted onMay 2, 2012September 28, 2025

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 703.0

Betty suggested El Tovar for breakfast and it did not disappoint – the prime rib hash and eggs were delicious!

I took the shuttle bus out to Hermit’s Point with several stops and short hikes.

Hermit’s Point

I walked the Trail of Times on the South Rim which was a great pictorial of geologic history in the Canyon. I also checked out the Visitors Center and GC movie.

Other than that, I felt like a Grand Canyon ambassador – families wanting pictures taken, people asking me for directions, etc. I did the best I could considering the 24 hours I have been here.
