Bring your dirt bike with you to Moab, and have a go at Amasa Back! You get sand, slickrock, and amazing views.

Directions: Head west at the intersection of Main Street and Kane Creek Boulevard (there will be a McDonald's on the corner). Stay to the left, and drive along the Colorado River about 5 miles until the road turns to gravel. Keep driving not quite another mile, and you will see the Amasa Back Parking area on your right.

From the Amasa Back Trailhead parking sign, walk across the road and find the hiking trail. From the brown "hiking trail only" marker, take 25 steps. Look to your left and see an old juniper tree on a small rock ridge. Underneath the rock ridge the juniper sits on, pull out a smaller block rock to find the dirt bike.
