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.
