Description
Hawks Glide is a trail in the Sand Flats Recreation Area, is a part of the Raptor Route and connects the
Eagle Eye trail to the
Falcon Flow trail.
Hawks Glide is recommended as a downhill route, riding from
Eagle Eye, toward
Falcon Flow.
The recommended climbing options are up
Sand Flats Road, or up the
Porcupine Rim Trail to
Lazy Mans Road.
Hawks Glide starts about 200' down the
Lazy Mans Road from the west end of
Eagle Eye and continues mostly downhill to the
Porcupine Rim Trailhead, or Stock Tanks on
Sand Flats Road.
The trail has similar terrain and technicality to
Eagle Eye and
Falcon Flow, Intermediate with advanced moments with the best views if you find time to stop and enjoy them. The trail is 18-24" wide singletrack mostly on softer soils, sometimes sand, with the occasional rough section and some of the area's most impressive rock work brought to you by our Moab Trail Team. @moabtrailmix
The bottom 800 feet of trail get more advanced, heed the black diamond warning sign at the top of the final descent. I recommend a scout, or slow roll down it as it's got some steep surprises in the last 800' of trail.
The top of the trail is at 6500 feet so winter conditions in this area often start in late October and can close the trail by early November. Winter conditions for this elevation means snow, melting to mud, then repeating and generally lasting until March. Please help protect our trails and check with a local shop for trail conditions.
