Maybe the best hike in Big Bend

At some points along the South Rim the dropoff is so steep we got a bit nervous just reaching the camera over the edge for a shot.

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.
