May 13: Zion - Emerald Pools trails

Gary at the Lower Emerald Pools. The Lower to Upper Emerald Pool Trails are about 1.5 miles together, and then terrific views coming down the Middle Pool Trail - about 2.5 miles altogether.

At the Middle Emerald Pools

The Upper Emerald Pools are in a very cool canyon (naturally air-conditioned) and a beautiful spot to picnic after the climb up. Gary took some video of the falls / pools which were refreshing after the hot and sunny upper pools trail:

This was our "last day" at Zion doing the Emerald Pools trails, but when we saw kayakers on the river, we got a permit and extended our stay by a few days to kayak the Virgin River in Zion.
