Description
The new Eagle Eye trail is 2.3 miles long, and is the highest trail in the new Raptor Route system. The trail travels through Pinion Juniper forest and is a mix of dirt and sandstone trail.
The route follows a rim line above part of the
Porcupine Rim Trail climb and is fast and flowy with only a few technical features. While this trail is not very technical, its speed, excellent turns, hidden jumps, and jibs make it a great trail for all riders intermediate and up. The trail is dual directional however it is recommended downhill,
LPS to
Lazy Man's Road (Porcupine Rim Trail Connector).
To connect Eagle Eye to
Falcon Flow on the Raptor Route, it is recommended that riders exit Eagle Eye, turn right, go down
Lazy Man's Road (Porcupine Rim Trail Connector), turn left onto
Porcupine Rim Trail, ride downhill for two miles to the
Porcupine Rim trailhead (stock tanks) at
Sand Flats Road, then onto
Falcon Flow. Follow the purple Raptor Route signs.
What is the Raptor Route?
The Raptor Route is a network of trails that starts at
LPS and parallels the
Sand Flats Road toward Moab. The primary objective for the route is to create an alternative to the very technical and remote
Porcupine Rim Trail when riding the Whole Enchilada route. The Raptor Route offers flowy, fast intermediate trails with some advanced moments and offers multiple exit options onto
Sand Flats Road along the way.
