Jon, I know you don't mention the campground on the page, but this may be worth mentioning somewhere:
The campground that is shown on the maps that is not far from the trailhead is closed to tent camping because of bear problems. Only "hard walled" RV's are allowed.
It might be worth mentioning somewhere so someone doesn't show up near the trailhead or Vail late at night looking for a campsite to do the climb the next morning.
It appears that Vail has placed a three-hour parking limit on the Bighorn TH, including prohibitions on overnight parking. This obviously complicates use of this trailhead for North Traverse Peak.
