Guacamole Trail The Guacamole trail is a fun addition to southern Utah's trail system. The riding is a mix of undulating open-rock riding plus singletrack through pinion, juniper, and brush. An intermediate rider should be able to do almost everything on this trail. For the techies, there are ledges and stunts just a few feet away from the trail. There's only about 100 feet of elevation change over the trail. It's constant up-and-down, very similar to nearby Gooseberry Mesa or Little Creek. Total riding distance is about 7.5 miles. You'll ride out about 2.2 miles, then fork onto a 2.7 mile loop. If you're guiding yourself, allow plenty of time to find your way (about 3 hours -- or more -- if you're riding this trail for the first time). In slickrock areas, the trail is marked with small rockpiles. |
| The trail is easy to follow in most areas, but there are occasional problem spots where you'll need to search for the ongoing trail. The southeast tip of the loop was extremely hard to follow in 2006, but may be fixed up when you ride. We strongly recommend that you download our GPS track file, and ride with the file installed on your GPS receiver, so you can see the location of the continuing trail. The loop seems designed to ride counterclockwise from the fork at GPS N 37° 12.398' W 113° 07.234'. |

Getting there: From La Verkin, turn
towards Zion National Park on Highway 9. Go 7 miles from the traffic light
where you turned east in La Verkin, through the town of Virgin, and past
the Kolob Reservoir Road on the left. At 7.3 miles, you'll see a dirt road
on the north (left) side of the street (GPS N 37° 11.874' W
113° 09.876'). This is Dalton Wash Road. Drive north 1.9 miles. As the road
turns east, you'll come to a fork (GPS N 37° 12.456' W
113° 08.268'). Turn left (north). Go 2.3 miles, climbing up to the top of
the mesa. Immediately as you get to the top of the mesa, the road forks
again. Go right (east) about 100 yards after the fork, there's an open
slickrock area on your right (GPS N 37° 13.575' W
113° 06.852'). This is where the ride starts. You'll head straight south
across the rock area to pick up the trail as it enters the trees.
