THE inner Grand Canyon does change.
In 2012, there was no such viewpoint as the "Ooh Ahh Point." There was no sign on this strategic lookout along the South Kaibab Trail.
But jump forward to 2019 and there is not only a sign (see the two photographs above) for the lookout, but many more people there.
In fact, this has become one of the most popular part-day hikes in the Grand Canyon. It is probably 1.3 miles down to the Ooh Aah Point.
In the past, the 1.6 miles down to Cedar Ledge was the first regular milestone going down the South Kaibab Trail.
The photograph below is from May of 2012 and shows no sign posted at the now Ooh Aah Point:
