Shuttle access and smart route alternatives
Whole Enchilada Shuttle Co. drops riders at Eagle Eye (conditions permitting) or at Hawks Glide for e‑bikes. The shuttle also serves riders headed to LPS/Porcupine and the Raptor Route doubles as an alternate finish to the Whole Enchilada for those who want to avoid the technical Porcupine descent.
A practical 6.5‑mile return to the lot
After Kestrel Run the route funnels down to Sand Flats Road for a roughly 6.5‑mile, downhill‑trending gravel roll back to the shuttle lot, followed by Moab streets or the Millcreek Bike Path depending on where you’re staying.

A shuttle drop sends you into a concentrated string of singletrack that rewards momentum and confident line choice. The trail sequence — Eagle Eye into Hawks Glide, then Falcon Flow and Kestrel Run — emphasizes speed and rhythm, with intermittent advanced moves that are labeled on the trail. For e‑bike riders the flow starts at Hawks Glide; otherwise the full Raptor Route starts at Eagle Eye and culminates in a gravel descent back toward the shuttle lot.

Details to review before reserving
Plan for a roughly 1‑hour shuttle drive and 3 to 4 hours on the trail for the Raptor Route.
Bring a bike suited to intermediate/advanced singletrack; e‑bikes are permitted on the shuttle but will start at Hawks Glide because they are not allowed on Eagle Eye. Carry water, basic tools and a spare tube for desert conditions.
Meet the Whole Enchilada Shuttle Co. at 675 N Main St, Moab, UT 84532. Consider riding your bike to the lot if convenient — the finish includes a 6.5‑mile gravel return on Sand Flats Rd. followed by local streets or the Millcreek Bike Path.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
