Raptor Route
Soar down varied terrain with a bird’s-eye view of the Moab valley. The Raptor Route was originally created as an alternative to Porcupine Rim on the Whole Enchilada route. The entire system connects four trails: Eagle Eye, Hawks Glide, Falcon Flow, and Kestrel Run, but it’s easy to just ride one at a time. Trails are best ridden downhill; riders can park at the bottom and bike up the road, or hire a local shuttle to bring them to the top of Eagle Eye.
Navajo Rocks
A fun, flowy trail system with trails that mostly roll across slickrock and sand surfaces and offer views of the Monitor and Merrimac buttes. The system is named for the Navajo sandstone formation the trails are built upon. Popular trails here include Ramblin’ (3.3 miles), Big Mesa (3.4 miles), Rocky Tops (4.6 miles), and Big Lonely (3.2 miles). The recommended riding direction of the trails is in a clockwise direction: riders will often need to shuttle themselves back to the parking lot along the road.
Moab Brands
Riders can spend hours exploring the Bar M system—provided they bring enough water and snacks, since trails here have little shade. Over 30 miles of trails make up the entire Bar M system, with varied terrain suitable for riders of all skill levels and views of Arches National Park. Bikers can also choose to travel to this trail system using the paved Moab Canyon Pathway: from town to the trail system is roughly 10 miles.
