Mountain Biking Amasa Back Area

*****   Add a review
#2 of 709 mountain bike trails in Utah
#17 in the world

Thanks to the fantastic trails that have been built by Moab Trail Mix in recent years, the Amasa Back area is no longer a one-trick pony of a 4x4 road. Instead, it has been developed into a complete trail system, with interconnected singletrack trails the junction with the classic 4x4 route. Consequently, Moab Trail Mix has resigned this area as a cohesive trail system. If you choose to ride here, must-ride trails include the new Hymasa and Captain Ahab bike-only singletrack.
