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.

      Looped the trail from the lower parking lot. Rode the Falcon climb which isn’t a bad climb at all and a fun trail. Falcon flow trail is fun, but not a flow trail. Still a decent amount of climbing. Overall a great Moab staple you must do.

      Looped the trail from the lower parking lot. Started on the road then went up the porcupine rim 4x4 trail to the top. Made for a much more enjoyable 10.64 mile ride than just riding up the gravel road. Loved the trail it was very well made. It should be named Falcon more than just flow trail.

      We took a shuttle up this time (bs climbing the road) and this section was way more enjoyable because my legs were more fresh. Definitely some climbing but I enjoyed this trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
