The Emerald Pools

For Easter weekend, we headed to warm St. George to spend it with Tyson's family.  We had such a fun time!  One of the afternoons we all went over to Zions and hiked the Emerald Pools (since they all wimped out on going to Angels Landing :)  It was a nice hike for a big group and one that Tyson and I hadn't done before.

We walked under those waterfalls, which create the Lower Emerald Pools.

Nanette (Tyson's sister), Randy, and Devan

Could he not be so crazy sometimes?

The view - amazing!



That would be Tyson up on that rock!  And notice the pools aren't emeraldy at all this time of year, but it was still pretty cool.

Our hiking crew!

Taking a rest on the way back down.  We both love Zions!!!

Wow, gorgeous! Would you believe me if I told you that neither Lance nor I have ever been to Zions!? Crazy huh! Looks like we need to make that trip sometime. And we would LOVE to get together with you guys and do something. We should plan it...meet half way somewhere. Sounds fun! Let's do it!

That hike looks amazing!!! So beautiful and it looks like no kids to worry about falling off somewhere and dying!

Those are some great pictures! We are going on a little trip to Zion's in July but I am too wimpy to attempt Angels Landing! I think Emerald Pools looks like a great spot to hit.
