Well once every 4 years we get a bonus day. This year it came on a Friday. Why not use it particularly since the weather was so incredibly beautiful. So we headed to the Guacamole trail just outside Zion National park and near Virgin Utah. This is a s uper fun slickrock trail and we had a great day.
Located just outside Zion National Park and just above the town of
Rockville, this trail is often referred to as Rockville Bench. The
trail starts at the Chenille trail parking lot. It follows the Chenille
trail to the park boundary where it breaks off from the Chenille trail
and into a wash, after passing behind the last home in the Anasazi
subdivision it hit it hits a large patch of slickrock the is
reminiscent of Gooseberry Mesa trail....
A lollipop loop mostly on slickrock primarily at one elevation with some singletrack, some trees, and stunning views all right on the edge of Zion National Park.
The riding here is very similar to Gooseberry Mesa which is just across the valley. It is less technical than Gooseberry, and less well marked. There are rock cairns and lots of bike tire tracks in the dirt between the rocks (this is a local favorite)...
