Mountain Biking Captain Ahab

*****   Add a review
#20 of 697 mountain bike trails in Utah
#281 in the world

Ahab is a little under 4 miles of singletrack slick rock climbs and drops interspersed with small sections of dirt singletrack. It is rated as a double-black diamond trail and is quite technical. Everything is rideable; most drops roll right off though some may seem intimidating. There is a section of cliff exposure but it's not nearly as exposed as some other trails in the area and is easily walkable. At the end you'll meet back up with the Amasa Back trail and ride it back to the entrance, hike out and head back to your car.
