They are usually open all the time, but dependent on weather conditions.

For cyclists, there are a total of twenty-two paved/unpaved tracks and trails: easy (6); medium (12); and expert (4). Though each one is unique and offers different challenges, the most recommended trails/tracks include the St. George Paved (easy), Guacamole (medium), and the Gooseberry Mesa (expert) trails. Each trail provides some climbing, paving in places and varied levels of undulation. However, the Gooseberry Mesa is St. George's most difficult and risk ride, covering some eight miles of one way track. This is for more professional and extreme expert cyclists, and should not be attempted without proper safety gear. In fact, the best part about the Gooseberry is that there are plenty of places to try out tricky and exciting stunts.
