We went back to the Park this morning to see the Emerald Pools and the Court of the Patriarchs.The park was a little more crowded and we had to wait “Disneyland” style for about 10 minutes to get on the park shuttle
The trail to the Emerald Pools was a little steep, but worth the effort. We also saw “Bob” the boulder, who recently feel as part of a rock slide and blocked the trail in February. The views as we walked the trail were wonderful.
After we finished that trail we took the shuttle to the Court of the Patriarchs. The trail was short and the view from the top was great.
After the Court trail we headed back to the Visitors Center and said good-bye to the main canyon.
We then drove to the Kolob Terrace Road on the west side of the park. The road climbed about 3000 feet and went into and out of the park but ended at the Lava Point Overlook. The long distance views of the park gave a different idea of the park.
We are off to Bryce Canyon Park tomorrow. We hope to also visit Cedar Breaks national Monument along the way.
