Our last day in Zion we booked an adventure to go into the wilderness for some rock climbing and canyoneering.  Climbing in the morning until our arms were to sore to go up the rock walls, we then headed into the canyons, learn how to rapel and squeeze through tight places. After the adventure there was just enough sunlight left to back into Zion proper and do the easy Emerald Pools trail getting one last look at the beautiful landscape before we leave the next morning.

Ready to start climbing

Billy goat number one

Jonathan trying something more challenging

Taking a little break

Justin climbing like a squirrel

Going up the shoot

Climbing that overhang is more difficult than it would seem

Past the overhang

Reaching for it

That little ledge is a wonderful place to take a rest

Justin, still working his way up

No ropes needed here, just some help from behind

Starting the canyoneering

Too deep to see the bottom

Look out below

Some other canyoneers

In the canyon (that sliver on the right is our exit)

Squeezing through

Lots of room for little me

Taking the tram up through Zion

Looking up river

The Court of the Patriarchs

One of the Emerald pools

Fall foliage blocking the Emerald waters

One of the upper Emerald pools

Stream moving from pool to pool

Water falls at the lower Emerald pool, not very active this time of year
