Falcon Flow / Raptor Route
New flowy singletrack on Sand Flats: an alternative to Porcupine Rim with less exposure and more flow. Becoming its own loop system with the Falcon Climb uphill route.
Trail beta
Park at the Falcon Flow lots on Sand Flats Road: lower at mile 4 from the entry gate, upper (better) at mile 6.8 just before Porcupine Rim parking ($5/day entry fee). Parking is tiny at both, so arrive early on weekends. Climb the dirt road up, descend Falcon Flow south to north (flow-style berms, tables, one signature slickrock roll), then link Eagle Eye and Hawks Glide for the full Raptor Route. Downhill-preferred: don't climb it during peak hours.
When to go
Season runs roughly March through November, matching the general Klondike Bluffs north area. These are newer trails built on BLM land with good drainage. Coyote Shuttle runs a BLM-permitted drop for the Raptor Route linkup. Like the rest of Klondike, full exposure means summer rides are dawn-only; April-May and October are ideal.
Shuttle
Falcon Climb (opened late 2025) provides a dedicated uphill route, making this a self-contained loop. Can also be ridden as an alternate finish to the Whole Enchilada.
