Another day, another trip to three mile resthouse. Erased a HUGE panel of spanish stuff: something like "who wants to be on this trail", and then "carlos" and "route 66". Methinks Carlos sas a little lost.

Advised some tourists that, no, the view doesn't change much all the way down the BA unless you hike out to Plateau Point. Some of them opted for that, some turned around to visit the West Rim Drive where views abound. Maricopa Point is a good substitute for the Skywalk, IMHO. It has a 285 degree view of the Canyon, you can see the River (well, a wee bit) and it is free. Also it is not a four-hour drive on four wheel drive road.

The bighorns are hanging around the head of the BA. We've seen them on every hike for the past two weeks. They aren't afraid, either, but the daddy bighorn has been seen huffing his group out of the way if they stay on the trail too long.
