Emerald Pools Trails
The trails ascend a side canyon to a series of pools
and waterfalls. From the Middle and Upper Pools
there are panoramic views of the main canyon.
Year-round seeps and springs continually recharge
the pools. Rare in a desert environment, these
perennial waters create microhabitats for a variety
of animals and plants, including the green algae
that give the pools their emerald hue.
