The rains started the day before (right as we were wrapping up our hike of the Narrows) and the downpour continued through the night and into the morning. The benefits of having the van, and more importantly the four person table inside, really came to light as we enjoyed our breakfast out of the rain. And with no big plans for the day, we enjoyed some downtime of reading in the two respective “bedrooms” before getting started.
We popped into the visitor center one final time to get recommendations for the day given the bad weather. They pointed us in the direction of Emerald Pools (also highly recommended by our server at dinner the previous night) so we had a general idea of a plan. We also realized how lucky we were to hike the Narrows the day before. The river flow was too high from the rains and it was officially closed.
Emerald Pools was wet, muddy and worth the hike to see the falls flowing. We started with the lower falls and then wound our way around to middle falls before heading back down completely covered in mud.
Not willing to miss anything before we had to leave, we also took a quick detour to Weeping Rock and then the Museum before our final night at Zion. Next stop, Bryce Canyon.
