Emerald Pools

This is one of the most popular stops in the park. Water rushes through Heaps Canyon and off a plateau into the upper pools. From here the water flows down into the middle pools, where it falls yet again into the lower pools. The Kayenta Trail, which begins at the Grotto, is a beautiful alternative to the more traditional approaches which begin at the lodge.
