Hike #47 - Emerald Pools, Zion National Park, UT

There are three Emerald Pools at Zion National Park, Lower, Middle and Upper.  The Lower Pool is 1.2 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 70'.  This area is lush with greenery, cottonwood trees and leads into a gorgeous canyon with pools of water.  Emerald would not be a color I would use to describe them but nevertheless they are nice.  We hiked to the middle and upper pools on a separate hike.  The distance was 1.5 miles round trip.

  1. Zion National Park lies in the northwestern section of Utah and provides some of the most dramatic and variable scenery to be seen anywhere in the national parks system.
