  • St. George Jeepers Trail Ride Gooseberry Mesa to the "Ghost Town of Grafton", Utah 01/26/2016
    St. George Jeepers Trail Ride Gooseberry Mesa to the "Ghost Town of Grafton", Utah 01/26/2016 Another fantastic trail ride, but not without incident(s). As soon as the group left Costco and got on the interstate one Jeep developed a flat tire. We regrouped at the Apple Valley Chevron and 20 Jeeps headed out for Gooseberry Mesa. After leaving Apple Valley, we proceeded 2.2 miles east and turned north on Smithsonian Butte National Back Country Byway. After traveling 2.8 miles we turned left onto Gooseberry Mesa trail. This trip was led by Gus Peterson. Smithsonian Butte National Back Country Byway travels for 9.25 miles between Rockville, Utah, on State Route 9 and Apple Valley, Utah, on State Route 59 in southwestern Utah, just south of Zion National Park. The Back County Byway takes visitors between the Virgin River floodplain in Rockville, through the pinyon pine- juniper woodlands topping out at an elevation of 4,920, and to the sagebrush desert at the Big Plain Junction at Highway 59. Views along the way include the colorful Smithsonian Butte, Eagle Crags, and Vermilion Cliffs within the Canaan Mountain Wilderness on the east. On the west, are the deep drainages and ridges falling away from Gooseberry Mesa including Wire Mesa, Grafton Mesa, and Pastry Ridge. An added bonus is the view into Zion National Park and its towering sandstone buttes. Located on Gooseberry Mesa, at 5,200 feet elevation, is a mountain biking Mecca and a system of very popular trails. The area has the designation of "National Recreation Trail".
