Fall in Zions National Park is wonderful!
The Virgin River flows south from the footbridge near Zions Lodge.
Fall brings cooler temperatures, more shade, and bright fall foliage.
The trail leading to the Lower Emerald Pools is an easy hike for most people but the trail to Middle and Upper Pools is steeper, with ups and downs over rocky passages. Cooler weather means the trails can be crowded on weekends in October.
A view from the trail!
The trail at Lower Emeral Pool includes a lovely dripping spring complete with Venus-hair fern.

Middle Emerald Pool is small, quiet and lovely.
Hiking in Zion offers the explorer hidden passages, towering cliffs, running water, and quiet pools. I love it here! Anytime is great, the late fall and early spring are my favorite times.

Sheila! The pictures and accounts take me right there. Many thanks!
You, or anyone reading, may want to contribute a testimonial to the wilderness for the SUWA "quilt" -- a stunning silk and muslin display that represents red rock and blue sky. They are still gathering statements of 50 words or less.
So far about 120 have been collected. The first batch will be on display at the SLC Main Library starting Nov 19, and a larger display will travel next year. Including Yours perhaps!
