Wyoming Monument Ridge is located in Wyoming’s Bridger-Teton National Forest. This is tough terrain at high altitude. The surrounding mountains soar to over 10,000 feet in height, and snow is common. With wet air and precipitation, the trail is often very muddy and slick. Use extreme caution and try to go during a dry period if possible. Though easy at times, this trail has sections that should only be taken on by seasoned off-roaders. If your rig can handle it, the breathtaking views are worth it. Monument Ridge (2-8 easy to very challenging)

West Virginia A little over an hour south of Charleston, West Virginia’s capital, you’ll find Bearwallow. Located near the town of Ethel, it’s one of the three original systems of the Hatfield-McCoy Trails. There's a wide range of trails here for every skill level. Use caution with the most difficult trails, as they’re some of the toughest you’ll find in the region. Bearwallow (2-9 easy to very challenging)

Virginia There’s one Badge of Honor trail in the commonwealth of Virginia. In the George Washington National Forest, you’ll find Peters Mill Run. It’s a good trail for novices that’s not far off Interstate 81. After traversing through the mud and water of the forest, there are plenty of other outdoor activities in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Peters Mill Run (2-4 easy to moderate)

Utah Home of Moab, this is considered a must-go state for many Jeep enthusiasts. It has more Badge of Trails than any other state, with 10 total. Nine of the trails are in Moab itself, including the famed Top of the World, a tough trail with amazing views. Many of these badges will require expert off-roading ability to earn. Outside of Moab, Hole in the Rock is a bit farther southwest, in Monticello. It will take you about six and a half hours to get there from Moab. No matter which ones you choose to conquer, you’re sure to enjoy the sights of the canyons and mountains. Top of the World (6-8 demanding to very challenging) Steel Bender (6 demanding) Fins and Things (3-4 moderate) Hell’s Revenge (3-6 moderate to demanding) Pritchett Canyon (7-9 demanding to very challenging) Cliff Hanger (6-7 demanding) Poison Spider (4-6 moderate to demanding) Metal Masher (5-9 moderate to very challenging) Elephant Hill (5-7 moderate to demanding) Hole in the Rock (4-6 moderate to demanding)

Texas The first Badge of Honor trail for Texas is in the rugged desert near the US-Mexico border. The Black Gap 4x4 Trail is located in Big Bend National Park, just a few miles from Mexico. This rock-filled trail will take you through some dusty, rough terrain far from civilization. The nearest big city, El Paso, is over five hours away. For something a little more accessible, try the Northwest OHV Park in Bridgeport. About an hour and a half northwest of Dallas, this park has beginner and expert trails. Bring a map, as some of the trails are not very well-marked. Black Gap 4x4 Trail (4-6 moderate to demanding) Northwest OHV Park (3-8 moderate to very challenging)

Tennessee The Volunteer State has three Badge of Honor Trails, all within about an hour of each other. Less than an hour west of Knoxville, you’ll find Windrock Park. This adventure area has a great mix of rocky and muddy terrain, with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. Panther Rock Trail #51 (3-5 moderate) Trail #16 (7-8 demanding to very challenging) Trail #26 (5 moderate)

Oregon Oregon has two trails, located just a few miles away from each other within Tillamook State Forest. It only takes about an hour to get there from Portland.

North Carolina North Carolina has a Badge of Honor trail in the Uwharrie National Forest. The park is about an hour and a half east of Charlotte and an hour south of Greensboro. Don’t get distracted by the mountain and lake views, as this is a pretty tough trail. Dickey Bell Trail #91 (6-8 demanding to very challenging)
-
New Hampshire The Jericho Mountain 4x4 trail is about 2.5 hours from both Manchester, NH and Portland, ME. There are about 2.5 miles of rugged terrain taking around 4 hours to complete. Even the green trails here are tough, and it only gets more difficult from there. After trekking through the mud and rocks, there’s a nice lake to check out as well. Jericho Mountain 4x4 Trail (3-9 moderate to very challenging)
-
Montana The Big Sky State has one trail, located in Flathead National Forest. It’s the northernmost and most isolated on the map, making it one of the rarest of the 56 trail badges. The craggy trail through the pine forest has some difficult technical sections that require rock-crawling experience. The park is less than two hours north of Missoula and about five and a half hours south of Calgary. Black Tail Wild Bill Trail (5-9 moderate to very challenging)
-
Missouri With two adjacent trails, the Southern Missouri Off-Road Ranch is about an hour east of Springfield, MO. You’ll do some serious mudding through the dense forest here, but nothing that requires expert-level technical ability. Missouri’s Guard Rail (5-6 moderate to demanding) Pee Wee’s Crossing (3-5 moderate)
-
Michigan Up in the far north of Michigan, there’s a Badge of Honor trail called South Marble Head Loop. It’s a long drive to get there from Detroit, about six and a half hours. A stone’s throw from Canada, Drummond Island has over 117 miles of trails in a closed loop. The rocky terrain has beautiful views of the water as well. For something closer to civilization, try the Holly Oaks ORV Park. It’s less than an hour northwest of Detroit. Though built on former and active sand and gravel mines, there’s mud aplenty. South Marble Head Loop (3-7 moderate to demanding) Holly Oaks ORV Park (4-7 moderate to demanding)
