Land OwnerBLM
An awesome MTB singletrack alternative to dodging the jeeps on the Amasa Back road. Works great in both directions.
This trail has some difficult sections of rock to climb, but it is pretty typical singletrack in Moab, and provides mostly a nice climb to the top of Captain Ahab, with a few sections that will test your riding skills. It is also an excellent intermediate level alternative downhill trail that is much less technical than Captain Ahab.
