About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, up to 4 guests, in a luxury SUV — the real Hermit Trail, El Tovar Dining Room, and Lipan Point. This is a private tour for your group only, up to 4 guests, in a luxury SUV. Real stops include the Hermit Trail — a genuinely quieter alternative to the main tourist trails — the El Tovar Dining Room, and Lipan Point.

The Hermit Trail earns its reputation as a genuine alternative route for a specific historical reason. It's named for Louis Boucher, a Canadian-born prospector who settled near Dripping Springs around 1891 and carved the original path himself. The Santa Fe Railway later bought the upper section from him, and because Ralph Cameron controlled the popular Bright Angel Trail and charged a toll to use it, the Railway built the Hermit Trail as its own competing route into the canyon, completing the full 8.5-mile descent to Hermit Camp in 1913. Hermit Camp operated as a genuine luxury tent camp — complete with its own tramway and an automobile for getting around the site — a full decade before Phantom Ranch existed, before the Santa Fe Railway closed it down in 1930. The trail itself is still maintained today, but without the crowds or shuttle access of the main corridor trails, which is exactly why it stays so much quieter.

El Tovar's dining room, included on this private tour, opened with the hotel itself on January 14, 1905 — designed by Charles Whittlesey, the Santa Fe Railway's own chief architect, and built from native limestone and Oregon pine right at the canyon's edge. It's been serving guests continuously for more than a century.

Lipan Point, the tour's third real stop, sits at about 7,360 feet and is one of the widest viewpoints on the entire South Rim. On a clear day it offers a nearly 360-degree view taking in Hance Rapid on the Colorado River, the long sweep of the Grand Canyon Supergroup rock formations, and the distant San Francisco Peaks. Directly below, interpretive signs mark the Unkar Delta, the site of a roughly 1,000-year-old Ancestral Puebloan farming settlement where delta farmers once grew corn, beans, squash, and cotton on the riverbank.
