Land Owner
Falcon Flow (not a flow trail) is the 3rd trail on the Raptor Route. Falcon Flow features beautiful vistas with fun flowy singletrack mixed with some challenges along the way. This trail works on its own as a loop riding 2.7 miles up Sand Flats Road from the Falcon Flow Trail Head or as part of an alternate to the lower part of the Whole Enchilada. If the Whole Enchilada is beating you up, you're running low on food or water, or you're over your head, ride down the Raptor Route from the bottom of UPS or Porcupine Rim 4x4 Road. From the end of Falcon Flow it is 6 miles back to Moab on Sand Flats Road.
