Flying Porcupine

MTB Shuttles >

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

FLYING PORCUPINE:

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.

Raptor-Pine 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.

Or, if the weather and time permit, we highly recommend: From the drop-off, pedal a mile up Sand Flats road to the Kokopelli Jeep road. Climb 600’ up Kokopelli to the UPS trailhead. Then Rip UPS, LPS, and Porcupine Rim. Again, this is one of the best trail combinations in Moab!

SHUTTLE TIMES:

The shuttle from the bottom of Hawks Glide back up to the LPS trailhead has two departure times. For the fast folks, the shuttle picks up 30 minutes after you drop in. The second shuttle picks up 75 minutes after you drop in for the riders who want to take a little more time.

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.

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

This option saves a mile of pedaling. However, it also bypasses LPS.

PARKING:

Park your vehicle and board the first shuttle at either the Porcupine Rim River Trailhead to avoid the 6-8 mile pedal back to town. Or, at Rim Cyclery in town.

  • Geoff was awesome! Far more than just a driver. Hazard County seems to offer more flexible pickups and shuttles to more areas than most others in Moab. Super friendly, and provided some fantastic riding and trail recommendations that made this trip awesome! Don’t hesitate to book with Hazard County, you won’t regret it.

  • Hazard County Shuttle is the best shuttle company in Moab in my opinion (having tried other local companies before). I echo all of the other positive reviewer comments I've gotten a chance to read. It's a no-brainer to shuttle with them! The obvious deciding factor is that to my knowledge they are the only shuttle company that will pick you up at the bottom of the ride. While it is possible to ride back to town you are at times riding on the road w/ cars, which can be dangerous, and it is a schlep after the long, awesome rides Moab has to offer...if you can avoid it to have more energy for others rides do it, especially because it doesn't cost more, prices are competitive! A legit bonus is that Geoff is knowledgeable about the trails and provides such great advice and recommendations. Super appreciated. He was available by text, even after the ride for questions on another trail and checked in on us to make sure we had a good ride on Mag 7. He is professional and friendly, making the shuttle ride enjoyable as well. I'm terrible about remembering to review but this is worth it because I can't recommend enough! Thanks Geoff!

  • Geoff was amazingly responsive and accommodating. As a long-time professional in the outdoor industry, I understand the customer service side of things quite well. Haz Co Shuttle knocked it out of the park. Will 100% use again!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My experience with Hazard County Shuttle was nothing short of stellar. Geoff took the time to reach out before my appointment date to provide details and directions to the meeting point, which was very valuable considering it was my first time in Moab. He arrived on time the day of our ride and got us to the top of porcupine rim safely and comfortably. The shuttle van was very clean and comfortable, and the bike rack setup was very good and secure. I really can’t say enough good things and can’t wait to use this shuttle service again on my next trip to Moab!

  • Of course they were on time and took excellent care of the bikes, but they also shared with us trail info, local tips, took pics for us, made sure we headed down the right trail… all the things you don’t expect from a shuttle company but wish they did. Will definitely use them next time we are in Moab!

  • What an amazing shuttling experience! Usually shuttling is just sit back and wait. This was different! We received great advice and great stories and such a fun ride! Mag 7 was incredible and hazard county shuttle made it even better. I completely recommend this shuttle. We will be using them from now on!

  • I’ve been getting shuttle rides in Moab for years. Riding with Geoff and Hazard County is a huge find. These guys provide a killer service… pickup from where you end your ride at a time that works for you. Unmatched service in Moab. For those that are new to riding Moab… having your vehicle and cold beer waiting for you at the end of your ride is a deal maker. The ride into town in the heat and construction at the end of a killer ride blows. Don’t do it. Shuttle with Hazard County.
