Maybe the best hike in Big Bend

Alligator Lizard
Like the rabbit before it, this Alligator Lizard did not seem too scared of people.

Comments:

We combined both the South Rim and Emory Peak on this day hike.  Not really recommended to do both of these in a day as we were spent afterwards.  The views on the South Rim (though a bit hazy) were spectacular.  I think a better option may be the camp near the rim and make this a two day trip to really have some time to explore and soak up the scenery.
