Kestrel Run Parking Lot:

Our shuttle service for the Raptor Route trail system departs from the Kestrel Run Parking Lot. This lot is conveniently located 2.5 miles above the entrance booth on Sand Flats Road. Parking here saves you a 4-mile dusty pedal back to town after your ride.

About the Raptor Route:

Raptor Route is Moab's newest trail system, offering 12 miles of fun, fast, and flowy intermediate singletrack, along with a few advanced sections. It connects the Eagle Eye, Hawk's Glide, Falcon Flow, and Kestrel Run trails.

Post-Ride Options:

  • Slickrock Bike Trail: If you still have energy after your Raptor Route ride, consider topping it off with a pedal along the world-famous Slickrock Bike Trail. You can choose between a 5-mile practice loop or the classic 10-mile Slickrock loop.
  • Pro Tip: Add UPS! A local favorite is to extend this ride by adding the UPS (Upper Porcupine Singletrack) trail.
    • Note: UPS is an advanced segment of The Whole Enchilada trail system.
