Emerald Pools is hike I had not been on before at Zion National Park. A day after good rain in December, I decided to finally add it to my list. Looking at the trail map and reading other reviews, I chose to take the shuttle bus one stop above the standard route, and hiked the Kayenta Trail instead to get to Emerald Pools. So glad I did, the Kayenta Trail has some of the best views of Zion Canyon!


Waterfalls were flowing because of rain the day before, and were just beautiful! It was muddy in parts, and the hike up to the Upper Pool has many many uneven rocky steps, but well worth it to get there. I loved being able to walk behind some of the falls!
