It can be a little tricky to find Gooseberry Mesa if you haven't been here before.  Hopefully you can find your way to  Hurricane, Utah and you'll then have your choice of two different routes.  Highway 9 from La Verkin (45 min. to the yurts) towards Zion National Park or Highway 59 from Hurricane (30 min. to the yurts) towards Lake Powell.

If you are visiting Zion National Park (highly recommended!) you will want to follow highway 9 until you get to Rockville at which point you'll take the bridge road, 200 E which turns into Grafton Rd. Stay right for 1 mile on the main paved road then turn left for 4.5 miles on a steep rough road before turning right over the cattle guard.
Continue for 3.5 miles until you get to the fancy outhouse.  Turn right and go 1.5 miles to the end of the road.  Look to your right for the rock cairns and drive between them for .25 mile.  Congrats!  You made it.

If you are just coming straight to Gooseberry the best route is south towards lake Powell and Colorado City (yep, where all those wacky polygamists live and a memorable side-trip, just keep your wife and daughters in the car at all times) on highway 59.  Go past the gas station in Apple Valley for 1.2 miles and you'll see a Scenic Byway sign and you'll want to take that left hand turn. You'll be on that road for 2.5 miles then turn left over the cattle guard and continue on for 3.5 miles until you get to the fancy outhouse.  Turn right and go 1.5 miles to the end of the road.  Look to your right for the rock cairns and drive between them for .25 mile.  Congrats!  You made it.
