There are quite a few trails here, with six total to explore. The first three are all in Big Bear, a couple hours east of Los Angeles. These are some seriously tough trails, with steep desert terrain and plenty of big boulders

Also in California are the Pinyon Mountain trail in Borrego Springs and the Dusy Ershim trail in Fresno. Finally, the famed Rubicon Trail itself also has a badge. As the official off-road proving grounds of Jeep, this off-roaders’ pilgrimage is a must-see in the Tahoe area. Use caution, however, as this is the only Badge of Honor trail that goes up to 10 in terms of difficulty.

• Gold Mountain (6-9 demanding to very challenging)
• John Bull (7-9 demanding to very challenging)
• Holcomb Creek (6-8 demanding to very challenging)
• Pinyon Mountain Trail (3-9 easy to very challenging)
• Dusy-Ershim (7-9 demanding to very challenging)
