My hightlight of the day (apart from finishing) was at the top off the mountain on a rocky boulder field, an elderly marshall shouted "well done son, first person to ride thon bit today, even Rob Jebb (the winner) did not ride that" Payback now as I have struggled to hold a pen since.
One of the most popular areas of Zion Canyon, the Emerald Pools are a series of small cascades and pools falling off the edge of Heaps Canyon. It is generally divided into three sections: the Lower Emerald Pools, a waterfall that cascades over a cliff to a relatively large pool, the Middle Emerald Pools, a series of streams that wind their way across the slickrock, and the Upper Emerald Pools, a relatively large pool right below a 91m drop.
Canyoneers descending down the 91m cliff face from Heaps Canyon to the Upper Emerald Pools are seen here.

when in doubt, just add a few more S's. Aside from the spelling error and the aesthetic decision to make the baseline follow the staircase, I absolutely love that someone tried to light the cinderblocks on fire. I once had a homeless man tell me it was "impossible to light a magazine on fire because they were made of 70% water and just would not burn". Perhaps he meant cinderblocks?
