Starting from the Zion Lodge, the hikers bridge crosses over the Virgin River.
Our trail enters an area of lush vegetation. I wonder if there is a water source somewhere around here...
Peering up at one of the waterfalls. The summer flow is light, but during the Spring runoff,
things can be much more impressive.
The water hits the rocks of the "Lower Emerald Pool." As refreshing as it looks, you are not allowed to swim here.
The trail continues along the shady alcove to head around and above the waterfalls.
The "Middle Emerald Pools" flow over the edge of the cliff. Over the years, several people have accidentally
fallen to their deaths, so fences and warning signs are now omnipresent.
The cairn memorial along the sandy upper trail. As of 2005, somebody had swept away all of the little rocks.
Time to rebuild a new touristy stonehenge!
The beautiful "Upper Emerald Pool" -- a nice little oasis with plenty of shaded areas to relax and have lunch.
