Difficulty: Moderate

Elevation Gain/Loss: 150 feet / 46 meters gain

Average Hiking Time: 2 to 4 hours of hiking round trip.

Distance: 1 mile / 1.6 km, one-way

Trailhead Location: Grotto Trailhead on the Scenic Drive

Optimal Time to Hike: Year-round, early morning or late afternoon May - September

Experience: After visiting the Emerald Pools, a beautiful continuation hike is to follow the Kayenta Trail along the cliff band to the Grotto picnic area. This one-mile extension of trail is similar in difficulty to the Emerald Pools but provides more continuous views up and down the Virgin River corridor above the tree tops. Connect with the Grotto trail for a full loop hike back to the Zion Lodge. This loop is a fantastic morning run.
