Wire Mesa Wire Mesa lies just to the east of Grafton Mesa and a couple of miles northeast of Gooseberry Mesa . The Wire Mesa trail is an intermediate-level singletrack loop. The loop is 7.3 miles in length, but quicker rides can be done by using the mesa dirt road to bypass one side of the mesa singletrack loop. There's relatively little climbing, so the ride is easy aerobically. While the riding season is year-round, the mesa is reached via a dirt road that becomes non-passable after heavy rains. Trail conditions, alignments, and connections will change. Use this guide at your own risk. UtahMountainBiking.com 2016.
