Pa'rus Trail
hikers: Lecia, Mark
This is more of a walk than a trail. It starts at the South Campground and goes to Canyon Junction. It's paved all the way. It would be fun to bike it. We walked it in the morning and there is not a lot of shade so I would not do it in the afternoon on a hot day. I didn't take any pictures but here's a description of what we did.
We started at the visitor's center and got slightly off track by exploring the south side of the river where the watchman trail goes. This is a shady area along the river and there is access to the river that would be fun for kids. But back to our walk along the Pa'rus trail. From the visitors center you go north and cross the road and the trail is on the north side of the river. We walked a couple of miles until we got to the Canyon Junction. There is nice river access there as well. We picked up the shuttle at Canyon Junction and rode it back to the visitors center, then we walked another half mile to get to our campground.
Jacob had stayed at the campground and while we were walking he packed up the tent and all of our camping gear!
This is a walk you could enjoy at night and have a good view of the night sky. Maybe we can to that another day - I mean night.
