Slickrock Mountain Biking Beyond Moab
Moab is known for it’s slickrock terrain, a type of grippy rock that is unique and fun to mountain bike on. While the area has more of this type of terrain than anywhere else, there are some other fun places to ride on slickrock trails. One place is on the opposite corner of southern Utah
- Gooseberry Mesa.
 Lunch spot with a view!
Gooseberry Mesa
Gooseberry Mesa is just outside of [Zion National Park](https://www.nps.gov/zion/index.htm) in southwestern Utah. The trails are up on the mesa
- an area perched above the dramatic landscapes of Virgin and with a backdrop of the Zion cliffs beyond. The trails on Gooseberry Mesa are full of undulating slickrock. They traverse the mesa, weaving up and down the rock and out to various viewpoints of the surrounding area, offering fun technical challenges along the way.
On our Gooseberry Mesa tour, we basecamp at a scenic campsite that gives dramatic views of Zion National Park. From our camp, we can ride to many of the trails up on Gooseberry. After riding up on the mesa, we have the option to drive to the many other trails in the area
- the flowy and fun Zen trails outside of Hurricane, or more slickrock fun at Little Creek Mesa.
