Porcupine Rim Trailhead River Parking Lot

Meeting Locations >

Porcupine Rim Trailhead River Parking Lot:

This is a key meeting and pickup location, especially if you're riding the Flying Porcupine or the lower section of The Whole Enchilada (LPS & Porcupine Rim). Hazard County Shuttle departs from this large dirt lot, situated along the scenic Colorado River.

Important Parking Information:

  • Correct Lot: This lot is the end of the world famous Whole Enchilada trail system and the Flying Porcupine mountain biking trail. It's crucial to park in this specific large dirt lot.
  • Avoid Other Lots: Do NOT park in the Grandstaff Canyon asphalt parking lot (across the street) or the Grandstaff Campground. Parking in the wrong spot could cause you to miss your shuttle.
  • Cell Service: Cell reception is spotty at best on the river road, so do not rely on your mobile device for navigation to this lot.

Directions:

  1. From Moab, head North on HWY 191.
  2. Turn right onto HWY 128 at the Colorado River.
  3. Drive approximately 4 miles. Look for the large dirt parking lot on the river side of the road, located above the Grandstaff Campground. This large dirt lot is across the street from the Grandstaff Canyon asphalt parking lot.

Benefits of Parking Here:

Parking your car at this location offers fast and easy access to your vehicle immediately after your ride. This means quick access to food, water, and shelter, eliminating the 6-mile pedal back to Moab. It's also an excellent option if you've rented a bike in town, helping you return it to the bike shop on time and avoid additional rental charges.

Shuttle Boarding:

Please be ready to board the shuttle 15 minutes prior to your departure time.
