Emerald Pools

Nestled within Zion National Park, the Emerald Pools are a series of three freshwater pools connected by a lush, verdant stream. These pools stand out against the backdrop of the park’s iconic red cliffs, creating a striking visual contrast. Visitors can choose from three hiking trails to reach the pools, ranging from an easy, short paved path to a more challenging and longer loop. The flowing waterfalls and crystalline surfaces of the pools make this area one of the most frequented and scenic spots in the park.
