Are E-Bikes allowed?
E-Bike Shuttle Regulations & Compliance
Shuttle services are now authorized for Class 1 mountain bikes (pedal-assist only, 20 mph max) intended for trail usage. All shuttled e-bikes incur an additional $5 fee and must weigh 58 lbs or less to protect equipment and staff. Because Moab trails are exceptionally rugged, bikes must be manufacturer-approved for off-road use; if you are unsure if your model qualifies, please contact us or consider a rental from Rim Cyclery Bike Shop at our in-town pickup point.
Where You Can (and Can’t) Ride
E-bikes remain strictly prohibited on all US Forest Service (USFS) lands and specific protected BLM areas.
Crucial Raptor Route Note: To avoid illegal riding on USFS land, all e-bike shuttles for the Raptor Route will drop at the Hawks Glide Trailhead, located 2 miles below Eagle Eye.
Unsure how much your bike weighs?
Your hometown bike store or Moab Bike Shop can weigh it for you ahead of time.
Please note: If you show up for the shuttle with an unapproved bike (class, weight, manufacturer intended use), you may be refused service without a refund.
It is your responsibility to make sure your bike is compliant. Again, if you have questions, contact us before your shuttle with the brand and model of your E-Bike.

Do you offer shuttles to the top of the Whole Enchilada?
At this time we do not offer shuttles to the top of the Whole Enchilada. We are working on getting a permit however we can only shuttle as high as the LPS trail. If you prefer to start higher it is a short 1.3 mile pedal on a dirt road to the access point of UPS (Upper Porcupine Singletrack). We also shuttle to Porcupine Rim Classic trail. LPS combined with Porcupine Rim Classic make up the bottom third section of The Whole Enchilada trail system.
Do we tip our driver?
Our driver's are always appreciative of a tip. If you were satisfied with your experience please feel free to show your appreciation by tipping your driver.
How long is the shuttle ride?
On average shuttle times are typically 45 minutes to an hour. These times can vary depending on trail location weather and road conditions.
How much water should I bring?
The desert is a harsh environment. It can be very warm and is usually extremely dry. We recommend that you carry minimum 100 oz. of water per rider, if not more. It is also important to bring food and snacks to help maintain your energy levels. For more information please click on the link below.
Do you supply a map?
We do not supply maps. Maps are available in town at all local bike shops. All proceeds from the maps are given to the Moab trail mix to help maintain and build new trails. You can also use online apps and download maps to your phone. We suggest always carrying a hard copy of the local map for the trail you are riding.
What if we have a mechanical issues with our bike or an emergency?
You should be equipped with the proper knowledge, tools, maps, first aid, etc. needed for a long day in the Moab back country. Hazard County Shuttle does not offer any type of trail rescue services. If an emergency should arise, dial 911.
How is my bike transported?
We have multiple rack systems to accommodate most bikes. Bikes need to be complete (wheels mounted) and should be in good working order prior to boarding.
Do you offer shuttles to other places?
If you would like to go explore other areas of Moab give us a call. We would like to make your trip to Moab most memorable and will do our best to accommodate you.
When riding Mag-7, how do I decide if I want to exit Gemini Bridges Road, Portal, or Poison Spider Mesa trail?
If you want a more intermediate ride, exit Gemini Bridges Road and park your vehicle at the Bar M/Moab Brands area. Exiting the Poison Spider Mesa trail, will allow you to climb up the Goldbar singletrack and ride the double black diamond Gold Bar Rim trail bypassing the expert level Portal Trail.
If you are an advanced to expert rider, you have the option of exiting the Portal trail, consisting of extreme exposure on the top portion and large chunky technical moves on the bottom half. It is highly recommended, WHEN IN DOUBT, WALK IT OUT! Live to ride another day!What is the average time to self shuttle with two vehicles?
The average two-car shuttle roughly takes 2-3 hours; 50 miles of wear and tear on your vehicles plus the cost of gas. The road to the top is extremely rough and rowdy.
How long is the shuttle to the lower section of the Whole Enchilada?
Depending on traffic and road conditions, the drive is roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour from the bottom of Porcupine Rim Classic Trailhead River Parking Lot to the top of the LPS (Lower Porcupine Rim Classic) trailhead.
The drive consists of 10 miles on asphalt and 12 miles on Sand Flats road which is a rough dirt road. The last 4 miles from the water tanks to the cattle guard are quite rowdy and wreak havoc on vehicles.
You can expect a bumpy ride as the road is littered with rocks, dips, uneven ground, and washboards. Riding with Hazard County Shuttle not only saves you time and money, but wear and tear on your vehicle and most importantly "your relationship" should you ask your significant other to shuttle you.Why would I choose to be picked up in town VS. the trailhead?
We offer in-town pickups at Rim Cyclery bike shop for those of you who do not have the ability to transport your bike to the trailheads.
This is a great option if you are:- Renting a bike and do not have a vehicle or bike rack.
- Sharing your vehicle with your significant other or family member.
- Your rig is already set up and you do not want to move it.
- Some folks prefer to log in extra miles by pedaling back into town.
Why are there multiple meeting locations for certain trails?
Hazard County Shuttle is the only shuttle company in Moab that operates in a true shuttle fashion from point to point trails. Translation, we pick you up (pre-ride) from the bottom of the trail and shuttle you to the top, eliminating the 6-12 mile(road) pedal back to town. Your vehicle awaits you at the end of the ride.
I still have questions about specific trails. Where should I go?
