As the Grand Cañon is not a National Park there is no way to license the individuals offering horses for hire. Tourists are advised to arrange with the transportation department of El Tovar Hotel for all trips into and near the Cañon. By doing this the tourist is assured of good service and responsible guides. A fine road has been built along the rim of the Cañon from El Tovar Hotel westward for about 7-1/2 miles to the head of the Hermit Trail. There is also a road running 2 miles eastward along the rim from El Tovar to Yavapai Point. A third road runs eastward 13 miles to Grand View; the western half of this road is through the forest, while the eastern end is along the Cañon rim. There are three trails into the Cañon--Bright Angel Trail, starting near El Tovar Hotel; Hermit Trail, starting 9 miles to the west, and Grand View Trail, 13 miles to the east. The following trips by coach are made daily from El Tovar:-- To Hopi Point on Hermit Rim Road, 2 miles to the west and return: 10 A.M. and 2 P.M., $1.00; sunset trip, $1.50. To Mohave Point on Hermit Rim Road, 3 miles to the west and return: 9 A.M. and 2 P.M., $2.00. Hopi Point is passed on this drive. To head of Hermit Trail on Hermit Rim Road, 7-1/2 miles to the west and return: 9 A.M. and 2 P.M., $3.00. Stops are made _en route_ at Hopi, Mohave, and Pima Points. From October 1 to May 1, the afternoon trip starts at 2.30, and the rate is $4.00 on account of the additional time spent at Hopi Point to view the sunset. To Yavapai and Grandeur Points, 2 miles to the east: 10.15 A.M., $1.00 Bright Angel Trail starts near El Tovar Hotel and extends to the river, 7 miles distant.
