There are three Emerald pools at different elevations, and so the best thing about this trail is…read morethat if you're tired after the first pool (the lower pool) you can turn around and feel pretty accomplished. I think a lot of people do this since the lower pool is definitely the busiest. There's also a neat little waterfall cascading into the pool, so my personal opinion is that it's the prettiest pool. The middle pool actually goes up to the sandstone shelf that creates the waterfall to the lower pool. It's pretty neat, although I didn't dare go near the edge as the rocks can be slippery, and I wasn't about to risk anything. The trail here is a little steeper than the trail to the lower pool. The upper pool is at the base of the grotto with sweeping cliffs. It does have some steps and a lot of sand. The sand can sap your energy, and I saw a few people needing to rest and gather their strength. The grotto was a bit flooded when I went, and so you might have to step on some rocks to avoid getting your shoes wet. I saw a bunch of ground squirrels frolicking around here. Overall, gorgeous and unique trail to hike in Zion!

I visited Emerald Pools at Zion National Park right before the 4th of July, and it was a really…read morenice stop to add to the trip. I only did the easier route to the Lower Emerald Pool, and that was enough for me that day since I did other trails like the Riverside walk. You can get there from the Zion Lodge shuttle stop, which is stop #5, so it's pretty easy to work into your day if you're already taking the shuttle through the park. The trail to the lower pool was scenic without feeling too difficult. You still get those beautiful Zion views along the way, and once you get closer to the pool area, the canyon walls and water make it feel really peaceful. The lower emerald pools is about .6 miles, 1.2 round trip. There are also Middle and Upper Emerald Pools if you want to keep going, but I kept it simple with the lower pool this time. I went right before 4th of July so the park was definitely busy, I'd recommend bringing water, wearing comfortable shoes and giving yourself extra time for the shuttle and crowds. I'm glad I did Emerald Pools. The Lower Pool was a pretty, easy hike and a great option if you want something scenic in Zion without committing to a harder trail.

That trail ends at the river where The Narrows begin - aptly named as it's the most narrow part of the gorge. I spent a little bit of time in the river, but nothing serious as I didn't have enough time to dedicate to the trek to Wall Street. It's on my list of things to do for a future trip. You shouldn't enter the The Narrows if there's any rain in the weather forecast or any rain in the surrounding areas. It's too risky to be caught in the canyon with any chance of flash floods. There are port-a-potties and water at the shuttle station. Even though you're hiking in a river, that water should not be consumed as there have been cyanobacteria and their associated toxins found in the Virgin Riven. There is no known recreational water filtration or disinfection method that can reduce the toxins to a safe level for drinking!

What more could you ask for? We visited on June 22 under nearly perfect conditions. It was hot in Springdale, but the slot canyon stayed cool and comfortable. The water was deep enough in spots to give the youngsters a little trepidation and excitement, but everyone made it through with huge smiles and a sense of accomplishment. The towering canyon walls, flowing river, and ever-changing scenery make this a hike unlike any other. Equal parts beauty and exhilaration. One final note: please don't feed the fat little squirrels. They're already living their best lives and definitely don't need the extra calories.

When you start low, you can only go higher. There's something so very liberating about that--about…read moreknowing that you're as low as you're going to get--and that no matter what step you take forward, you're going to stumble higher. Beaver Dam Wash, besides being a small but relatively unknown national conservation area in the southwest corner of the state, also holds the state's low point. There's some disagreement on just how low that point is (I find most sources say it's 2350ft, but a geologist with the USGS was in the local paper many years ago saying it's probably more like 2178ft). No one disagrees that it's here in the wash, however. It's also Utah's hottest point, so let's get the safety talk about of the way now: come prepared. The thriving metropolis of Shivwits, UT doesn't exactly have a 24-hour big box store, so if you're going to make the trek all the way out here, fuel up in St. George (and maybe pack an extra canister) and bring all the water, food, and supplies you'll need. Ya, it's technically not too far at all from St. George, but when you get out there running those dirt roads it starts to feel a little bit lonesome, and you'll want to give yourself the freedom to explore, too. You'll want to explore, but it's not the most hospitable territory. You don't have any recreation facilities, at least that I saw. This is a national conservation area, not a national recreation area. The landscape is mostly brush and there are Joshua trees out this far, and you've got 60,000-plus acres to stretch out. Mostly it's about the dirt roads that wind and twist and turn and lead over through Arizona and Nevada. All motor vehicles must remain on designated roads, and not all roads are designated for OHVs or motor travel. Do your homework and get a map. Note that it's probably equally as popular to access this from the Arizona side, by going to Littlefield, AZ and heading north on the road out of Beaver Dam (HWY 91) and later it turns to a high clearance 4WD situation when you head back west into the wash. So, what's out here, really? Well, there's a neat confluence of different landscapes, so you get this funky variety of brush, Joshua trees, bighorn sheep, and other flora/fauna that are coming together. It's not in-your-face amazeballs, but if you're quiet and know what you're looking for, it's really something simple and special. Get out on foot and walk around. Just don't do it in the summer. It's extreme weather and totally inhospitable. I wish I could spend a lot of time here. Not too, too much... but sometimes you have to get low to appreciate the highs.
