Trail Overview

Jeepers, get your badges! This Jeep Badge of Honor trail is on the easier side with three short rock step formations and mud holes. This trail also runs simultaneously with Trail G26, should you need a quick exit. Trail 26 runs downhill for the first two rock steps from the East to West. It is full of loose rock and little to no large boulder formations. Wind Rock Park considers this trail blue in difficulty.

Difficulty

A stock 4x4 vehicle can complete this trail with little issues, however ground clearance or skid plates are highly recommended due to the short steep grades. After a heavy rain or running the trail from West to East, greater difficulty will apply.

We decided to go uphill from T27 after a good overnight rain. 4 of us in a RZR velocity S. The trail was slippery and wet with water holes and mud slides most of the way. The rock garden was interesting and fun with the slippery bolder crossing. The rocky areas require some technical driving skills.

Not obstructed. Trail closed 2/3 way through due to trail maintenance. Can take G26 instead and still end up at end of Trail 26. Had lots of fun and enjoyed the ride/view.

Wet/muddy up top. Rock steps were wet, but manageable. Main section of trail (rock garden and ledge obstacles were all flowing with water). Lower rock section was dry, but the incline/decent (depending on direction) at intersection of T26 and G26 was a muddy/rutted mess. 35” tires very helpful

We ran the trail downhill, the gatekeeper at the top we tight with lots of erosion. There was a decent amount of water flowing down the trail from the rain 24 hours before. Only saw one other group, 4 SXS running the trail uphill.
