We hiked the Emerald Pools trail today. A 3.5 mile hike ranging from moderate to more than moderate. It was beautiful and well worth the effort to get to the third pool. We picked up the shuttle to the Visitors Center and took the Town shuttle into Springdale for lunch. We ate at a place called the Whiptail. Afterwards we walked to a nearby Native American Art Gallery, browsed around there and the gift shops at the shuttle pick up. Napping, Hot Tub, dinner and bed seems to be the afternoon routine on hiking days!
