Emerald Pools Trail

Absolutely loved the whole experience of this trail! Walk up to the lower pool is very easy. You follow a nice wide, paved path. This area was very busy with many inexperienced hikers. The lower pool is nothing too exciting but the waterfalls were more than worth it, so refreshing and beautiful! The trek up to the middle pools is rather short and not very challenging. A few switchbacks and rock stairs and you're there. The pool is stunning, you just have to go off trail a little bit behind the initial trickle of water onto the sandstone. The water is 100% clear and serine. If you go up and to the right you reach another little pool, it's worth the few steps up to it but nothing super amazing.
