Raptor Route Bike Shuttle

About This Adventure

ABOUT RAPTOR ROUTE

E-BIKES: E-bikes are now allowed on the lower sections of the Raptor Route including Hawk's Glide, Falcon Flow and Kestrel. They are not allowed on Eagle Eye. Shuttles will drop e-bikes at the Hawk's Glide Trail Head.

HOW THE SHUTTLE WORKS: In the spring time this shuttle may share the same van as the Whole Enchilada as they share the same early spring access points. Snow in the upper levels keeps us from going higher. We meet at the Chile Pepper Bike Shop, load your bikes there and you can either ride back to town or you can follow us with your car and leave it at the trailend.

Another option, when we are going higher than UPS, you can book the Whole Enchilada Shuttle and ride from whatever section we are dropping off at for the WE(weather dependent) and then in lieu of riding LPS and Porcupine, you can grab the Raptor Route and then take Sand Flats back to town. If we are dropping off at anything above UPS you won't be able to follow with your vehicle. Eagle Eye trailhead is the highest trail in the Raptor Route System.

DESCRIPTION

The Raptor Route is a newer downhill-ish point to point trail that parallels Sand Flats Road. It links four trails together, Eagle Eye, Hawk's Glide, Falcon Flow and Kestrel's. This is an intermediate ride and depending on the season can range from 8-30 miles. While there is a lot of flow, there is a lot of pedal too.

This ride is a great stand alone ride or it serves as an alternate exit route for the Whole Enchilada. If you bail on Ole Enchie you would skip LPS and Porcupine, joining Eagle Eye right before LPS starts. The Raptor Route ends on lower Sand Flats Road which leads right into town. This is a great option in the heat of the summer or if you have found the WE to be a little more trail than you bargained for. Or, just a new trail for you to try if you have ridden Porcupine Rim a bunch.
