Hiking | Emerald Pools Hike
Hype:
The Emerald Pools hike in Zion is very popular due to its central location in the park, its ease, and its beautiful scenery. We were there during a flute festival, and a guy was playing an indian flute. It was so serene, almost reverent.

On Friday, I stayed at the Airbnb and worked all day remotely while everyone else went to Zion National Park. I'm trying to save my vacation days for our upcoming trip to Europe. The group drove through the park, but there was no parking at the visitor center, so they continued into Springdale. They ended up paying $30 per vehicle for parking and then caught the shuttle to Emerald Pools. They hiked to Emerald Pools amidst a continuous queue of hikers. It took them about 2.5 hours.
