There are 3 emerald pools along the trail. The lower pool is a 1.2 mile round trip walk and takes about 1 hour. The middle pool is 2 miles up the trail and the upper pool more than 2 miles up the trail. Needless to say we only went to the lower pool. The combined walking for us encompassing the Emerald Pool Trail and The Riverside Walk was 3.4 miles. On a day when it was over 90 degrees this was plenty. However very enjoyable.
This flow of water goes into the lower Emerald Pool. We where told that by the time the water goes through all the various layers of rock, etc. it tested to be 1200 years old.
