Operated by Whole Enchilada Shuttle Co. · Moab, Utah
Moab, Utah stands as a world-class playground for mountain bikers, with its vast red rock landscapes and an extensive network of singletrack trails carved into sandstone mesas. The Raptor Route, offered by Whole Enchilada Shuttle Co., delivers nearly 12 miles of fast, flowy singletrack tailored for intermediate to advanced riders, making it one of Moab's premier biking adventures.
Starting high near the Kokopelli Trailhead, riders are treated to a dynamic ride featuring trail segments named Eagle Eye, Hawks Glide, Falcon Flow, and Kestrel Run. These trails combine smooth, flowing sections with technical moves that challenge your bike handling without tipping into the overly technical extremes found on Porcupine Rim or other nearby routes. Riders can choose to extend their journey by adding the Kokopelli and UPS trails for more mileage and varied terrain, weaving through the iconic slickrock and pinion juniper-covered hills that define the Moab landscape.
Whole Enchilada Shuttle Co. supports riders with efficient shuttle service, allowing them to maximize downhill and singletrack time without the grind of climbing. The Raptor Route can be a standalone experience or a more approachable alternative to the notoriously technical Whole Enchilada route, which includes Porcupine Rim. This trail system’s blend of rolling climbs and fast descents takes place on the characteristic Navajo sandstone, a signature geological feature that provides dramatic views and varied trail textures.
After the ride, the route feeds back toward Moab via a mix of gravel roads and urban bike paths, easing you into town with a satisfying sense of accomplishment. Whole Enchilada Shuttle Co.'s deep local knowledge and shuttle logistics make them an invaluable partner for riders looking to tap into Moab’s vibrant mountain biking scene.
