Zions National Park, June 2008





After enjoying the Grand Canyon so much this year, we thought while we were in Utah, we might as well spend some time in Zions National Park.

We parked just outside at the theater, and walked across the bridge into Zions. Then we hopped on the shuttle to catch a ride to the Zions Lodge where we would access the trail to the Lower and Middle Emerald pools. This was a trail recommended to us by some friends as a little kid friendly hike.

The trail was super-duper busy all the way to the Lower Emerald pools. If you've ever been on the upper part of the Bright Angel trail in the Grand Canyon, you know what I'm talking about. But we made our way through the throngs of people, and once we were past the lower pools, on the steps up to the middle pools the crowds lessened. The scenery was beautiful, and the were excellent places to stop for some photos.

The kids did great. Their kid energy made short work of the climbs up the stairs and rock to the middle pools, and then around to the other side.
