I came into this ride with pretty low expectations, as all these mesa rides blend together in my mind. But once we started rocking and rolling on this insane terrain I began to remember how much fun is packed into every turn of Gooseberry Mesa.

    Agree with you about Secret Trail. Best route for me is a lollipop figure eight: Windmill, Practice, South Rim, Hidden Canyon, North Rim, Yellow, Gooseberry Point, South Rim, Hidden Canyon (again), North Rim, Bowls and Ledges, Windmill.

    +1 for the figure 8 but I start at south rim and do that first with fresh legs. Hidden Canyon is a gem worth doing twice in the middle. I actually got the idea of doing the figure 8 25 years ago from one of the Harris twins that built the trail. Great video, this is my all-time fav trail.

    I would usually go practice, bowls, north rim to the point, south rim, HC, bowls, practice, back to the trailhead. And really, HC is the jewel of the lot.

    All the classics at Gooseberry are terrific. And I've done Secret a few times. If you do it, it's bit of a haul so bring the snacks and fluids because if you bonk halfway into it, you're on a slow death march until you merge back into the famous trails. It's biggest drawback is it's connected to one of the greatest trails of all time. But put this trail somewhere else, where it stands alone, and it's a great ride.

    Gooseberry is great. As someone else said, add in Windmill. Hidden Canyon and Gander are fun too. You should do Secret Trail at least once (you won't find it unless you look for it). It is very fun, just very long and it will wear you out. Wire Mesa next door is great (and easier) but Gooseberry is the King. This type of riding will make you tired.

    Rode there once a few years back. Fun to try a few different lines. A lot of punchy stuff out there. I actually got lost on South, lost the white dots and luckily found some Red? but followed them and eventually got back to the parking lot. I missed some of the last few sections. It's amazing how on paper it looks easy....ha, until you ride it. Awesome job as usual....Cheers.
