Where do the Village Shuttle Bus Routes go?
Three shuttle bus routes have been serving Grand Canyon Village for over 30 years. They do not overlap, although they interconnect. Buses are identified with a colored square near the boarding door.
Hermits Rest Route (RED) is not operating
- The entire length of Hermit Road is now closed to all vehicles beyond the Hermit Road intersection with Village Loop Road.
Grand Canyon National Park is repaving and improving this historic road. If you plan to visit during this time, read more about closure periods and alternative activities here:
