On a sunny morning in Southwest Utah, myself and photographer Hannah Morvay pummel down a dusty road toward the Little Creek trail system.
Little Creek is almost directly south of the acclaimed Gooseberry Mesa trail system, but doesn’t see nearly as many visitors. Part of that may be due to the fact that it is sparsely marked. There are sections of singletrack, but they only connect you to parts of undulating slick rock on the mesa, so it’s easy to get lost, and that happens. The other part is that after many, many years, it’s still not an entirely sanctioned trail.
The locals that we’ve talked to since arriving a few days prior have all recommended Little Creek, on the condition that you go with someone who knows the area. If you have a guide, then you’ll find yourself on a giant playground for mountain bikes, with drops, and jumps, and brazen little rock lines all over the place. If you don’t have a guide, then there’s a good chance you’ll get lost.
