This was our first mountain bike outing. It is the least technical of the rides we hit and has some of the most breath taking views at the top. We did a 20 mile loop out of Moab returning from the top of Amasa via Johnson trail. A technical drop off the north side of the mesa.
First view at the top is spectactular
The trail travels along the top of the cliff.
You can see into Canyon Lands NP from the top.
Slickrock -
This is a Moab must! I haven't found another trail like it. The constant up and down on the rock is so much fun and a great workout too. The entire landscape is amazing. Great views!
Photos to follow, I have to get them from David.
Porcupine Rim -
The same day we road Slickrock we hit Porcupine rim. Melissa shuttled us to the top to save time. This is another classic Moab trail. Technical because of the drop offs and rock gardens that can drop you into the meat grinder. Last time David road this trail, he left part of his molar on it. That would not be the case this time. We were killing it and having a great time. We had a couple snow showers move through during the ride, making things even more beautiful.
The trail has a good climb to start with but then drops back down to the Colorado River.
The climb has a number of technical sections.
The view at the top is amazing.
The return trip is a blast!
Don't go too far right!
