Description

This outside loop is stunning. It's an exciting trail with plenty of slickrock, but a bit less than other trails on this mesa. It's primarily singletrack with a mixed surface of dirt and small loose stone. There are some very challenging areas, but they are short lived on Holy Guacamole.

Riding along the rim and next to Zion is stunning. You'll cruise over bare rock and among desert veg of juniper, mesquite, sagebrush, and rabbit brush. If there has been rain on the mesa, it will have an iridescent green from the sage brush glowing, and the landscape pops with wildflowers at certain times of the year.

There are a couple of great lunch spots along the rim, with views of Eagle Crags and the Virgin River valley that you drive through to get here.

The lower ridge riding is a fast and flowy break from the more technical slickrock.

Holy Guacamole offers great mixed slickrock and smooth, fast, wide-open riding.

Remember what the ridgeline and the cindercone on the right look like at the trailhead to get you back! It's easy to get lost!

Good views despite being lost somewhere on Holy Guacamole.

Pretty difficult in areas...maybe even double black diamond...didn't enjoy this as much as the rest of the Whole Guacamole.
