Emerald Pools
Description
Depending upon water levels, Emerald Pools can be a true treasure of Zion National Park. If you time your visit right, and it has been a wet spring, the water cascading from the cliffside into Upper Emerald Pool and down to the Lower Emerald Pools is stunning. Rich in minerals, this life-giving water shines with an "emerald" glow.
If it has been a dry year or you're visiting the pools in late summer, skip this attraction and spend your time in other areas of the Park.
Short Hike: Follow the Emerald Pools hike description.

Upper Emerald is closed due to landslide, which you can see at the Lower Pool.
Hiked to Lower Pool. Lots of people on a Sunday out for a stroll.

Emerald pools are amazing. Can only make it to lower pool because upper pool trail closed due to storm damage.
