Trails are in Sand Flats Recreation Area. Fee required.
Eagle Eye is at 7000', trail gets snowed out in winter. Check with shops for conditions.

Eagle Eye, Hawks Glide, Falcon Flow, or the Raptor Route is an excellent downhill route that is great on its own or connect if off of the Whole Enchilada. Riders now have an option at the start of LPS to either continue down the Whole Enchilada Route, or take the Raptor Route back toward Moab. This route offers more singletrack, faster downhill, and is more intermediate rider friendly. It also offers many exit options onto Sand Flats Road if you have a mechanical, or just need to get back to town.
Use caution on Eagle Eye and Falcon Flow as they are dual directional trails.
Please stop for uphill traffic.
