Description

Added by Josiah Roe

One of Moab's iconic trails with epic views of the Colorado and Kane Creek Canyons and bomber downhills connecting into the one of world's great mountain biking trail networks.

Amasa Back / Cliffhanger is the primary entry point into one of the most fantastic mountain biking trail networks in the Moab area, connecting into Captain Ahab, Rockstacker, HyMasa, and Jacksons Trails.

To get there take Kane Creek Blvd. from Moab into Kane Springs Creek Canyon. The road will quickly turn to dirt and you will pass several trailheads until the well marked Cliffhanger / Amasa Back Trailhead.

Follow the well marked trail down and across the creek and then up the other side, intersecting at various points with HyMasa trail and eventually reaching the intersection with Captain Ahab. From here the trail proceeds along a dramatic cliff, the remains of a now-extinct bend in the Colorado River.

You can either reverse directions and proceed back up the trail or take Jacksons Trail back to Kane Creek Blvd. and back up to the parking area.

View the Petroglyphs at Birthing Rock

This roadside boulder is just a short ride down a dirt road from Moab. From the McDonalds in Moab, head west down Kane Creek Drive. You will pass a few BLM and private campgrounds as well as various trailheads. The road will eventually become graded dirt. Follow the road until you see an obvious pull off to your right a bit over 5 miles from the McDonalds. If you start descending down stee...

Drive Chicken Corners

From Moab, take Kane Creek Blvd out of town towards the beginning of the trailhead at the Kane Creek Recreation Parking Lot. From there, the trail is pretty much the only route available. The drive follows along a very smooth dirt road for the first six miles. Here, take a right to follow towards Hurrah Pass (see Drive Hurrah Pass for more info), climbing for about 3.5 miles. After reaching th...

Drive Hurrah Pass

Hurrah Pass is a 19.5 mile out and back trail/road that leads from the Colorado River Canyon through Kane Creek Canyon and up to Hurrah Pass at 4,780'. While technically considered a 4x4 trail once you begin your ascent out of Kane Creek Canyon, this can be done with a high clearance 2wd vehicle (and a little skill) if conditions permit i.e. not after a strong rain.l The views of Kane Creek Can...

Visit the Poison Spider Petroglyphs

Not many people visit this petroglyph site because of the steep access trail. From the Poison Spider parking lot, walk the trail that leads to the slab with an obvious dinosaur track highlighted when people put plaster in the track to make a mold. This, of course, is prohibited. Work your way up to the cliff above. Along that wall and on a few fallen slabs are some very nice Petroglyphs. Expl...
