Falcon Flow is a mountain biking route on Bureau of Land Management land in the Moab Field Office of Utah. The trail is an out-and-back that stretches about 11 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of 962 feet from the low point at 5,107 feet to the high point at 5,876 feet. It is a moderate ride, making it a practical option for a longer outing in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 66°F in April to 68°F in October, while July averages about 95°F. The station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Juniper Hiking Trail is less than a mile away, and Hawk's Glide and the Sand Flats climbing area are both within about 2 miles. For an overnight stay, Porcupine Rim Campground is about 4 miles off.
