FAQs
Carry at least 100 oz. of water per rider, plus ample food and snacks. Bring a headlamp, warm layers, a windbreaker or waterproof jacket, sunglasses, sunscreen, a first-aid kit, and a cell phone. Keep your bike in excellent working condition and carry repair supplies, including extra tubes, a pump, patch kit, tire levers, multi-tool, and spare derailleur hanger.
There is no third shuttle. If you miss it, expect to pedal 4 miles and climb 2,000 feet to reach the trailhead. Continue up Sand Flats Road to access LPS, or pedal 3 miles up the Porcupine Rim jeep road to the overlook.
Add Upper Porcupine Singletrack (UPS) if your fitness, weather, and time allow. Reach Lower UPS with a 0.25-mile pedal to Porcupine Rim Campground. Riding the full Upper, Middle, and Lower UPS adds 3 miles and 600 feet of climbing.
