Emerald Pools is a popular hike in Zion National Park. You can see a series of beautiful pools and waterfalls surrounded by towering cliffs and lush vegetation. There are three options for hiking here: Lower, Middle and Upper Pools.

Difficulty: It's easy to reach the lower pools, a bit more difficult to the middle, and harder to the upper pool (we did all 3 and did not find it very hard)
Length: 1.9 km / 1.2 miles to Lower, 3.2 km / 2 miles to Middle, 4.8 km / 3 miles to Upper.
Elevation change: 21 m / 70 ft to Lower, 46 m / 150 ft to Middle, 107 m / 350 ft to Upper.

We believe it's a hike worth doing while in Zion.
