Tucked away at the base of towering red walls in Zion Canyon in Zion National Park are three lush pools called the Emerald Pools.

One is almost guaranteed to see big game, gorgeous lakes, four separate drainages and a ridge walk that’s unparalleled in the Park. The excuse was a mountain goat survey, as…
