Days Events

The Days Events

  • We will spend our time exploring the Slickrock mazes that makeup Gooseberry Mesa.

  • We offer all loop options. Based on your riding abilities and willingness to ride hard we will do as much as we can.
  • Options of varying riding difficulty are abundant:
    • Experienced riders can request the harder loop options
    • Beginner to intermediate riders can ride double and singletrack and test their newfound skills on the Gooseberry Practice Loop.
  • All riders can benefit from proper body mechanics and weight distribution as it applies to Slickrock. Our guides are well versed in all riding techniques and can assist with increasing your skill level.
  • All riders will be briefed on the mechanisms and components of their state of the art mountain bike before we start to ride.
