About Emerald Pools Trail
Emerald Pools is one of Zion's sweetest signature trails. Generously endowed with breathtaking scenery, this trail is one that children and adults alike will have fun hiking. Waterfalls, pools and a dazzling display of monoliths create the Emerald Pools Trail System. When I was a kid I did this hike a multitude of times, never getting tired of it. Back then we would drop out shoes at the start of the trail, stack tiny cairns on the upper trail and never missed a chance to swim in the upper pool and we usually explored the drainage behind the middle pool. With all the visitation that park gets now, those things are not allowed but still this is one of the most enchanting hikes anywhere. From Emerald Pools Trail webpage

About Zion National Park
Follow the paths where ancient native people and pioneers walked. Gaze up at massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that soar into a brilliant blue sky. Experience wilderness in a narrow slot canyon. Zion’s unique array of plants and animals will enchant you as you absorb the rich history of the past and enjoy the excitement of present day adventures.

What's great about visiting Zion National Park is that the park has always been an important part of this vital recovery effort. The Peregrine falcon, the California condor, the Mexican spotted owl, and the bald eagle are all found here. This place of protection and sanctuary harbored these birds with a safe haven where their needs for food, nesting, and habitat never changed. Peregrine falcon returnees established multiple nesting sites over the years and all of their food sources in the park are free of man-made dangers. Reintroduced California condors regularly spend time in Zion, and can sometimes be seen in the Lava Point, Canyon Overlook, and Angels Landing areas. Bald eagles come home to Zion for their winter rest.

These success stories are worthy of celebration, and you can celebrate too. When visiting Zion, each time you look up and see any of the 288 species found on the park's bird list, take heart in knowing that by being here you help them thrive. You offer your highest and best to the idea that all of nature contained in our 232 square mile sanctuary, and beyond, is worthy of saving. May the wandering spirit of all our avian friends inspire in you a new understanding of what it means to fly free. From Zion National Park website
