Thanks Dr. Greg,
The trip was definitely a "wow" amongst other words, like, "Surreal, majestic, amazing and dare I say, to die for." :D

A few things that some of us learned were; respect your surroundings, enjoy the natural landscapes and the bond and camaraderie that were formed and grown were incalculable.

Porsche N' Parks Drive Tour 2016 Day 6 Grand Finale: 04.02.2016.

Morning in Bryce Canyon. Leave the Lodge at Bryce Canyon for Zion Canyon. Starting point for this hike is at the Zion Lodge. Cross the footbridge and follow the trail that goes north along the Virgin River. LOWER EMERALD POOLS: In less than half a mile, the vegetation becomes more lush and the trail makes its way along a tall alcove under two tall waterfalls and the pools below. Getting to this point is quite easy even for the elderly and baby-strollers.
Emerald Pools Trail: MIDDLE EMERALD POOLS: Beyond the alcove, the trail gets more difficult and steps up and around to bring you on top of the cliff that you just walked under. The middle "pools" are the streams that form the waterfalls. This section is quite beautiful.
UPPER EMERALD POOL: The final stretch is a hot and sandy quarter mile, but it is well worth the effort to get to the final pool at the base of the 300-foot cliffs above. The upper pool area is a great area to find a shaded boulder to relax and have lunch. Most of the time, you can see a faint waterfall coming from the mouth of Heaps Canyon far above. For the return trip, you can either retrace your path or take the optional loop back to the Lodge.
