May 25, 2019: Amasa Back to Hurrah Pass | Moab, UT • 🚵🏻♀️
This MTB trail in Moab is one of the underrated spots as Slickrock solidifies most of the out-of-towners. The Hurrah Pass Amasa Back Loop is an old school Moab classic ride. After a steady 8 mile or so climb you come to Hoorah Pass. From here you can see Dead Horse Point and Island In The Sky way off in the distance.
After descending Hoorah Pass you wind and weave your way through some classic desert terrain and finally come to the base of Amasa Back that towers 800 ft above. Time to throw our bikes on our back and hike.. a very steep and rugged switch back trail to the top. I was not thrilled but somehow made it thru with a few scrapes.
To finish, you follow the rim of Amasa Back for several miles full of stunning views before descending back down the parking area. I made it the entire way, 21 miles without falling,.. until the decent.. we were passing a Jeep tour and my arms were famished.. I could see the finish.. hit a pebble and flipped right over the handlebars! Haha I was so proud of myself until that moment.

This dinosaur park I had passed heading into Moab over 100x and finally got to inside!! It had a virtual tour with 3D glasses and all, with a walking path taking you through all the eras. Definitely a stop for the whole family 🦖🦖
