MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Hawaii Spring is about 1.8 km upstream from where the Tonto Trail crosses the Hermit Creek drainage. The perennial spring discharges from bedding planes in the Muav Limestone in a small grotto to the west of Hermit Creek. There are numerous springs and seeps in the Hermit Creek drainage, and Hawaii Spring is among the largest of the springs. The northstriking Hermit Fault, adjacent to Hermit Creek, is a prominent structural feature in this part of Grand Canyon and probably influences groundwater movement. Hanging gardens near the spring include maidenhair fern and golden columbine; sawgrass grows in a dense stand outside the grotto. The site is within the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park.
