#### Take this short connector trail from the Grotto to the Emerald Pools along the Virgin River in one of the country’s most spectacular national parks.

The Kayenta Trail, in the most popular part of Zion National Park, links several Zion Canyon hikes together. Set against the west wall of Zion Canyon, and not long or difficult, the trail connects two popular spots in the park, the Grotto and the Emerald Pools. Follow the mostly flat, well-maintained, 2-mile (3-kilometer) trail along the Virgin River.

Find the Kayenta Trail across the bridge from the Grotto picnic area. This shady spot offers plenty of water and a nice place for a picnic before starting your exploration of the area. It’s possible to hike a loop from the Grotto if you follow the Kayenta Trail, Emerald Pools Trails and Grotto Trail.

Start with a short climb through the foothills below Mount Moroni. You’ll follow the west wall of Zion Canyon and head into a little canyon where you’ll connect to the Emerald Pools trails. The Lower, Middle and Upper pools get their namesake green tint from algae. Depending on the time of year, these little oases may also feature light, misty waterfalls.

Where the Kayenta Trail ends, pick up the Upper Emerald Pool Trail, a sandy, rocky path that leads to the pool at the base of a cliff. Connect to the Lower Emerald Pool Trail and Middle Emerald Pool Trail, which both originate at the shuttle stop at Zion Lodge. Enjoy the sights along all of these trails, including Lady Mountain, the Great White Throne and Red Arch Mountain.

Also accessed from the Grotto shuttle stop, Angels Landing is arguably one of Zion’s toughest and most famous hikes. Climb 1,500 feet (460 meters) above the canyon floor to walk along a narrow ridge and reach the edge of a dramatic spire.

From April through October, access the Kayenta Trail by getting on the shuttle at the Zion Canyon Visitor Center and getting off at the stop for the Grotto and Angels Landing. Generally during the rest of the year, private cars are allowed in Zion Canyon. Restrooms and drinking water are available at the Grotto. Purchase a one-week or annual national park entrance pass for access.

Melissa with housekeeping was super helpful. After tracking in a bunch of mud from our hike, she came and cleaned up our floor! Thank you Melissa.

9/10 Wonderful! (37 reviews)

The 10 am time to leave is a little rough with our kids. I would suggest changing that time to 11 am like most other facilities. The internet situation is annoying. It would be better to just allow for internet use. The unit had a very dirty balcony, it really needed to be mopped. There were a lot of dried spill marks, and our unit could have been vacuumed and swept better as there were lots of crumbs under the dinning table. The appearance all in all was very good. We enjoyed the pool ( it did have some large dead bugs in it) we also used the basketball and pickle ball courts. One of the pickleball nets is pretty hammered though. These things are just for your information. I would want to know them if I were managing. Anyhow, we did for the most part dry much enjoy our stay and will most likely stay again.
