Pa'rus Trail
A flat, paved path along the Virgin River. It is the only trail in Zion where bicycles and dogs are allowed, making it ideal for cycling and walking.
The trail runs from the visitor center to Canyon Junction, a one-way distance of about 2.8 km. It is completely flat and suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. It crosses the river several times, with views of The Watchman and the canyon mouth along the way. Many people rent bicycles in Springdale and ride the Pa'rus Trail before continuing on the Scenic Drive. Bicycles can use the road while the shuttle is running, but cyclists must yield to the shuttle buses. Dogs must be kept on a leash.
