The sign says, "The trail system climbs to three sets of pools with panoramic views up and down the canyon. Year-tound seeps and springs continually recharge the pools. Rare in a desert environment, these perennial waters create micro-habitats for a variety of animals and plants, including the grin algae that give the pools their emerald hue."
