Saturday in Moab

I went to Moab for a quick & easy weekend getaway. Despite the Easter Jeep Safari & rain, I managed to get in a couple of great rides with my wife.
We rode the new Pipe-dream trail, Moab’s FIRST bonafide mountain bike trail. By that, I mean non-motorized & single track. It’s a 4.5 mile, mostly flat with the occasional short hill, out an back trail. It’s short, mostly easy, has its fun moments (if only in fits and starts) and the scenery is ok and did make for some good photos as long as you look away from HWY 191. Certainly, it is not the best Moab has to offer.
A little unsatiated, we headed over to the Amasa Back trail. While this is open to motorized vehicles, it is truly a world class ride and certainly one of the reasons Moab is famous for mountain biking. It is short, steep and very technical making for a super strenuous climb up and a fast and wild descent. The scenery on this trail, especially at the top is breath taking.
