This exciting hike along the Gooseberry Trail is the shortest route from the Island in the Sky mesa to the White Rim. Along the way are big canyon views, dramatic cliffs, colorful geology, a pleasant wash walk and white rim rocks balanced on red pedestals. It's a relatively short hike but there's a big descent and it's all uphill on the way back. The upper part of the trail offers the best views, so if time or energy are limited consider descending partway and turning around.
