This section has typical slopes of 1% to 2% and maximum slope of 5%, cross slopes vary from 1% to 2%, and it is 5 feet wide on average. There is an accessible resting / turnaround area identified with signage at the 0.4 mile point. Beyond the resting area, short sections of the trail exceed a 20% slope, the trail varies in width from 3 to 5 feet, and sand on the trail may make the surface slippery."

Pa'rus Trail: "The Pa’rus Trail is a 1.5 mile, paved, 8 foot wide multi-use trail between the Zion Canyon Visitor Center and Canyon Junction with minimal grade change. The quarter mile closest to the Visitor Center is asphalt and may have cracking, but the remainder is concrete and mostly smooth and level. The majority of the trail has between a 2% and 5% slope, but one 30 foot section of the trail has an 18% slope and the ascent into Canyon Junction has a 14% slope for 60 feet. Much of the trail is exposed to direct sunlight throughout the day, and bridge surfaces may be slippery. Access from the Pa'rus Trail to the Human History Museum is uneven and rocky with large log steps and tight turns."
