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.
The 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.
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 DETAILS:
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 riders who want to take a little more time.
NOTE:
If you miss the second shuttle back up to the LPS trailhead 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.
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.
