The Chase Trail is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Utah, about 1.7 miles from the town of Kamas. The trail is only 0.3 miles long, with a high point of 7,782 feet and a low of 7,730 feet, so the elevation gain is just 39 feet. That makes it a quick ride rather than a climb, but it is rated hard, which suggests the trail is more about technical riding than distance. The trail is close to several other routes. The Short Fuse Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and the Saddle Loop Trail is about 0.2 mile away. The Bottoms Up Trail, a hike, is about 0.4 mile away. Riders can also look to Ponderosa Group Campground, about 3.5 miles off, for an overnight stay. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Kamas show July highs around 84°F with lows near 50°F, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days. That station sits about 1,300 feet below the trail, so temperatures on the trail run cooler.
