The Abyss

  • Address: About 5 mi west of Hermit Road Junction on Hermit Rd., Grand Canyon, AZ | Map It

Fodor's Review:

At an elevation of 6,720 feet, the Abyss is one of the most awesome stops on Hermit Road, revealing a sheer drop of 3,000 feet to the Tonto Platform, a wide terrace of Tapeats sandstone layers about two-thirds of the way down the canyon. From the Abyss you'll also see several isolated sandstone columns, the largest of which is called the Monument.
