Hawks Glide Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
It's suggested to ride Hawks Glide downhill, starting from Eagle Eye and heading towards Falcon Flow. For climbing, you can opt for ascending via Sand Flats Road or taking the Porcupine Rim Trail up to Lazy Mans Road.
The trail offers a comparable terrain and level of technical challenge to both Eagle Eye and Falcon Flow, presenting an intermediate difficulty with occasional advanced segments. The most breathtaking views are best appreciated when you pause to soak them in. Measuring between 18 to 24 inches in width, the single track mainly traverses softer soil, occasionally transitioning to sandy patches. Along the way, expect intermittent rough sections and encounter some of the region's most impressive rock features, crafted by the skilled Moab Trail crew.
