Description

Hawks Glide is a trail in the Sand Flats Recreation Area, is a part of the Raptor Route and connects the Eagle Eye trail to the Falcon Flow trail.

Hawks Glide is recommended as a downhill route, riding from Eagle Eye, toward Falcon Flow.
The recommended climbing options are up Sand Flats Road, or up the Porcupine Rim Trail to Lazy Mans Road.

Hawks Glide starts about 200' down the Lazy Mans Road from the west end of Eagle Eye and continues mostly downhill to the Porcupine Rim Trailhead, or Stock Tanks on Sand Flats Road.

The trail has similar terrain and technicality to Eagle Eye and Falcon Flow, Intermediate with advanced moments with the best views if you find time to stop and enjoy them. The trail is 18-24" wide singletrack mostly on softer soils, sometimes sand, with the occasional rough section and some of the area's most impressive rock work brought to you by our Moab Trail Team. @moabtrailmix

The bottom 800 feet of trail get more advanced, heed the black diamond warning sign at the top of the final descent. I recommend a scout, or slow roll down it as it's got some steep surprises in the last 800' of trail.

The top of the trail is at 6500 feet so winter conditions in this area often start in late October and can close the trail by early November. Winter conditions for this elevation means snow, melting to mud, then repeating and generally lasting until March. Please help protect our trails and check with a local shop for trail conditions.

Loose on ledges makes for some interesting climbing, but still fun. And great views.
