Raptor Route: Your Guide to Moab's Newest Trail System

The Raptor Route is an exciting network of four distinct trails: Eagle Eye, Hawk's Glide, Falcon Flow, and Kestrel Run.

Eagle Eye, the highest point of the Raptor Route, opened in November 2021. It's 2.3 miles long, and you can access it from the LPS trailhead on Sand Flats Road.

Opened in November 2022, Hawk's Glide is the newest and most advanced section of the Raptor Route, spanning two miles. Expect cliff exposure and technical sections, along with epic views of the La Sals, Abajo, and Henry mountain ranges.

Falcon Flow makes up the lower section of Raptor Route and is 5.7 miles long. By Moab standards, this is a true intermediate trail with nothing overly technical.

Kestrel Run opened in the Fall of 2023 and is two miles long, completing the Raptor Route Trail System.

Extending Your Ride: UPS Full & Lower Section

If you're looking to ride a bit more, a short pedal from the drop-off point leads to the access trail for UPS (Upper Porcupine Singletrack). This allows you to ride one of the seven trails that comprise the Whole Enchilada trail system.

Accessing UPS

  • Lower UPS: Pedal 0.25 miles from the drop-off point toPorcupine Rim Campground.
  • Entire UPS: (Upper, Middle, Lower):
    • Pedal 1.2 miles up the road to the Kokopelli Trail entrance.
    • Continue an additional 1.7 miles to the UPS trailhead.
    • Note: This option adds 3 miles and 600 feet of climbing.

Exit UPS at stop sign #3 (LPS/UPS connector) and connect to Eagle Eye.

Parking for Raptor Route

We suggest parking at the Kestrel Run Parking Lot (New Location!). This is your best bet as it saves you a 6-8 mile bike ride back to town after your ride.

  • Hazard County is by far the best shuttle service in Moab and the only service I'll use. Drivers are friendly, knowledgeable, punctual and handle your bike like it was their own. Vans are clean and they provide you with a mask if you forgot one. I'd give 6 stars if it was an option

  • I contacted several shuttle service providers prior to scheduling with Geoff of Hazard County Shuttle. I chose to use Hazard County Shuttle services instead of other similar service providers in town because Geoff was responsive, very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Geoff shuttled my fiancé and I from the porcupine rim parking lot near Grand Staff trailhead to the top of lower porcupine trail. The shuttle was on time, and Geoff was very efficient in loading our bikes and getting us underway. During our shuttle ride we spoke with Geoff at length and he shared lots of information regarding TWE and other mountain bike rides in the area. We found the information invaluable and Geoff is highly recommended as a resource for the areas mountain biking. Notably, Geoff stopped a few times to collect garbage that other recreational users discarded along the Sand Flats road. He clearly cares about the Moab environment and his ethics show through in his business. I intend to reach out to Geoff for future shuttle services and bike recommendations, and encourage you to contact Geoff for his services as well.

  • Not all Moab shuttles are equal, and Hazard County is great - Geoff communicates well throughout the signup and pickup process, with updates on timing and info on current trail conditions.

  • We used Hazard County Shuttle for the Porcupine Rim Classic and Mag 7 rides. These are some of my favorite rides and it was great getting picked up at the trailhead for both shuttles and not needing to ride back into town when we finished the rides! Can't wait to be back in Moab and shuttle with Geoff again.

  • Jeff was fantastic! He was flexible with time and willing to shuttle us where we needed to go. He also had great recommendations for the area. Much more of a personalized experience than some of the other large shuttles.

  • Came into town with a couple buddies to do some mountain biking. Thought it’d be easy to find a Porcupine Rim Classic shuttle, but Hazard was the only operator that offered the days, times and flexibility we needed. Highly recommend!!

  • Used these guys to get from the river to the Lower half of WE. Excellent transportation! I’ll use them again! Pro tip: from the LPS drop off, ride up the road to the UPS connector. UPS is the best part of WE and sparing my legs from the Burro descent left me with enough mojo for follow up rides! See you next year Hazard Bros!

  • HCS gives you the option of pick-up and drop-off locations for a very affordable price. Some other shuttles in the area don’t give you a pick-up location of your choosing, meaning after your long ride you have to ride all the way back into Moab. Depending on where you’re riding that can be a very long ways. I’ll be suggesting HCS to all my friends from this point on.

  • Went to get a shuttle from Poison Spider and they said to use Hazzard County. Called him up, got a shuttle at the END of the trail where we dropped off our vehicle. He took us to the beginning and we did the trail and came out right at our vehicle. 10/10. Fast and courteous. I wont use anyone else.
