Lower Emerald Pools - Zion National Park

The Lower Emerald Pool trail is an easy and fun trail for the entire family. Even wheelchairs and strollers can easily make it down this one. The reward at the end of the path is a beautiful waterfall. This is not your usual waterfall, cut a giant alove with water weeping down splashing on the rocks below as you are able to walk beneath it. You will get a little wet, but not too bad. Be carful when starting the Emerald Pools trail if this is the path you want since the middle pool trial begins at the same place.

Today I got the opportunity to go with my friend Bo during a crazy rain storm in Zion. We had a blast as the water poured from the sky and from the waterfall. The hanging gardens under the falls are beautiful and the black streaks of the desert varnish give a nice look to the alcove. Bo took the photos posted on the page of the Lower Emerald Pool and I thought it was great so I used. it. Once you are past the pool you can go back to the Lodge area, continue in the same way and go to the grotto on the Kayenta Trail or go to the upper pools.
