Overview

Raptor Route connects Eagle Eye, Hawks Glide, Falcon Flow, and Kestrel Run into a 10-mile continuous flow. It's a great alternative to Porcupine Rim.

Description

The Raptor Route is a network of trails that starts at the end of UPS 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.
