| Hoodoos at the start of the ride |
 |
| The start of the trail paralleled this road through Red Canyon |
 |
| 5 miles of paved trail took me 800 feet up |
 |
| Start of the single track |
 |
| This was a tough climb up - looking backward |
 |
| Trail goes right by several massive Hoodoos |
 |
| Run up to the Spine |
 |
| The Spine |
 |
| More of the Spine |
 |
| This was a little out of my comfort zone - again looking backward |
 |
| As I rode across it, I was at Pucker Factor 8 |

 |
| JEM parking lot |
 |
| The first part of the ride often had me riding up a creek bed |
 |
| Looking back toward the parking lot |
 |
| Start of the single track - this trail was so flipping spectacular and flowy, that I did not take any pictures for 8 miles |
 |
| Great section hugging the river |
 |
| The Virgin River |
 |
| Trail is right at the edge |

 |
| On the road heading up to the mesa |
 |
| At the Gooseberry lot |
 |
| I rode the Beginner Loop first, to get my "Goose" legs on, then hit this trail |
 |
| Follow the dots |
 |
| There are supposed to be dinosaur prints here, but I could not locate them |
 |
| Off the edge |
 |
| Long way down |
 |
| Many sections go right up the edge |
 |
| Tip of the Gooseberry Mesa |
 |
| This did not look too stable |
 |
| Headed home |
