A canyon full of outdoor activities awaits you in Zion - the Virgin River Canyon is the artery through which everyone flows north or south, to trail off for exploration on both sides.
After coming back to Springdale, and after a quick breakfast, we headed up towards Zion Canyon, taking one of the compulsory shuttle buses to the Grotto. From here, we started hiking: after crossing Virgin River, we had a pleasant hike towards the Middle Emerald Pool. The deep green of the plants in the water indeed gave this pool an emerald look - even though the water itself seemed extremely clear. It was all too easy to spot animals in this pool, and the longer we looked, the more we saw. Dragon-flies, frogs, tadpoles, butterflies, and even a snake were some of the animals we saw in a short time span. After spending some very pleasant time here, we continued our hike up to Upper Emerald Pool, and it was during this hike that we felt the true heat of the day burning on our backs - and it was still quite early in the morning! We spent a very relaxing time at the Upper Emerald Pool, floating on some of the tree trunks in the water - and at one point had to run to save our food from very quick squirrels. No matter how much we liked it, we had to head down towards Virgin River again - visiting the Lower Emerald Pool which unfortunately was partly closed for reconstruction, and took a bus down to Springdale. Even though the temperature was over 110F/42C, it was dry heat which I thought was still bearable. The next morning we made sure to be on the very first bus, and headed towards Angels Landing. This spectacular rock stands high above the canyon floor - up to 1200 feet higher. After a quite level start, the path soon turned pretty steep, and when we reached Refrigerator Canyon, we were sweaty even though the sun was still well hidden. The Refrigerator Canyon did not delude us: the temperature inside is remarkable lower than in the surrounding areas. At the end of the canyon, the trail turned right, and there they were: the twenty-one switchbacks taking the hiker quickly up to the saddle between the mountains of Angels Landing and the West Rim Trail. Once we arrived at the Scout Lookout, the landscape around us opened up, and we had a good view over the Virgin River meandering through the canyon below.
