Description

UPDATE: Historic Babylon Trail hasn't been maintained for ages so if you want to avoid the rocky technical torture, ride up Little Purgatory as an out-and-back. You can ride down Historic Babylon Trail for some technical DH but going down Little Purgatory is more fun.

This trail is recommended for experienced & strong riders. Best ridden counter-clockwise, the descent towards the end of the trail is steep & switchbacks down toward the Virgin River.

It's pretty much downhill from the start and you can carry some speed. There are a few advanced technical sections & some riders might want to hike the bike for a few yards. Just find the right line quickly over the rock garden to make it through.
