What do you get when you combine the Raptor Route's two best trails with the best sections of the Whole Enchilada?

Flying Porcupine:

Flying Porcupine: Is a best day ever. Combining some of Moab’s best terrain into a single, efficient, awesome experience. Not to be missed. Once you ride it, you will want to do it again……and again. Eagle Eye, Hawks Glide, LPS, and Porcupine Rim.

Moab’s most popular trail combo is a best day ever. Combining some of Moab’s best terrain into a single, efficent, awesome experience. Not to be missed. Once you ride it, you will want to do it again……and again.

Flying Porcupine is comprised of Eagle Eye, Hawks Glide, LPS, and Porcupine Rim. This gives you the most bang for your buck with two shuttle rides, a 4800-foot descent spanning over 18 miles. Provides Moab flow, flow tech, chunky chunder, drops, features, magnificent views, and SICK single track.

HOW IT WORKS:

The first shuttle drops at the Eagle Eye trailhead. Rip down Eagle Eye, and Hawks Glide to meet the second shuttle for a ride back up to the LPS Trailhead. Next ride down LPS and Porcupine Rim to the Colorado River

NOTE: You must descend the 4 miles of Eagle Eye and Hawks Glide trail in 75 minutes to make the second shuttle back up to LPS.

There is no third shuttle.

If, for some reason, you miss the second shuttle, you will be required to pedal up 4 miles, 2000’ to reach the TH to access Porcupine Rim. Should this occur, you have two options.

  • To access LPS, pedal 4 miles up Sand Flats road to the Eagle Eye LPS Trailhead.
  • Pedal up the Porcupine Rim jeep road 3 miles to the Porcupine Rim overlook.

Second Shuttle Recommendation: Adding UPS

For those on the second shuttle, if you're feeling fit and conditions (weather and time) allow, we highly recommend extending your ride to include UPS (Upper Porcupine Singletrack).

A short pedal from your drop-off point will lead you to the access trail for UPS. By adding this section, you'll get to experience three of the seven trails that make up the Whole Enchilada (WE) system. This offers a substantial and incredibly rewarding ride without requiring the all-day commitment of the full "WE."

Accessing UPS:

  • Lower UPS: Pedal 0.25 miles from the drop-off point to Porcupine 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.

  • Geoff, the owner of Hazard County Shuttle, came highly recommended by Moab Cyclery. I was in visiting from CT and he was able to shuttle me to Porcupine Rim Classic no hassle, a trail many others won’t. He was responsive, prompt, and courteous. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a bike shuttle.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I highly suggest choosing Hazard County Shuttle for your next trip to Moab! It was 10/10 better than the other shuttles (who I have used numerous times). With Hazard County Shuttle, you get picked up and dropped off right next to the exit of LPS so there is no dreadful pedal back into town and you can enjoy a post-ride beer right at the river, the van was on time, it was not stuffed to the max with riders meaning you weren't getting dropped off with like 50 other people to navigate the trail with. Along with that, my bike was very secure to the roof and had zero mechanical issues once at the top, and Geoff was nice enough to show us some extra mileage after we got dropped. I will be exclusively booking my Moab shuttles through this outfit from now on and I urge whoever is reading this to do the same.

  • Hazard County rocks! Geoff is helpful, full of advice, and went way above and beyond to make our time in Moab even better than normal, accommodating a number of special shuttle requests on short notice. I’ve shuttled with a number of companies, and with Hazard I felt like a person instead of just a number or revenue stream. Don’t hesitate…Hazard County Shuttles is the best game in town!

  • Shuttle got to the pick-up location early, so we were leaving right on time, if not a bit early. This was much appreciated with the desert heat. We rode Mag-7 via Portal. It was great to be able to be picked up where we'd be riding out at the end of our 23-mile ride. Geoff, our driver, was very knowledgeable about the trail we were riding and other trails in the area. We hadn't downloaded Trail Forks before, but with his directions, we didn't need them. He checked in with us at the end to make sure we had a good time. We will be using this company 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.

  • We had the BEST day! And Geoff was super accommodating and easy to spend a 45 min shuttle ride with. I’ve used other shuttle services in the past, and this is now my go-to. It was super helpful to get picked up at the bottom of the trail… saves the schlep back through town.
