Rocotillo Rapids
Rocotillo Rapids was a new trail added for the 1999 Chile Challenge. This trail is also located in the Chile Canyons and basically starts at the east side of the canyons and follows a grueling arroyo bottom to the west side of the canyons and back. All of the trails in the Chile Canyons will traverse sand and sandstone. Boulders, rock ledges and waterfalls are common. This is perhaps our most difficult, technical trail. Every obstacle is a major obstacle. This trail is reserved for the biggest of the "big boys." Two waterfalls are "winch only." Some of the boulders at the start of the trail are larger than most vehicles! Bring extra food and plan for a long day. This could easily turn into a twelve hour day! THIS IS A WINCH ONLY TRAIL ! You MUST have a winch to participate on this trail.

The Gauntlet
Want a challenge? How about huge water falls and mean, nasty rock ledges. Desert Mountain Four Wheel Drive Club has a world class trail in The Gauntlet, a challenge for any 4 Wheeler. This is not a run for “Porch Puppies." It is located 70 miles east of Las Cruces, in Coyote Canyon. This is worth the drive.

Patzcuarro’s Revenge
Patzcuarro's Revenge was the location of the finals for the 1998 BFG Rock Crawling Championship The trail begins next to Rocotillo Rapids and winds up in a neighboring arroyo at the loop road around the canyons Although most participants fear (and break on) the first two waterfalls, there are several more challenging ledges, boulders and waterfalls upstream, one was the site of a recent roll over.The second waterfall, Nemesis Two, has a winch point if necessary. Please be careful and ask for a line - if you need one.

Tabasco Twister
This trail is located in the Chile Canyons area just north of Picacho Peak. The trail begins at the south edge of the Chile Canyons and heads northwest up and around the canyons. Scenery includes a great view of the Mesilla Valley and various surrounding mountain ranges. After a short drive to the actual "entrance" to the trail, you will notice the boulders getting larger and larger. Next will come waterfalls, which also get larger and larger. Although two of the most difficult waterfalls have winch points, they will still get your attention by their size and angle. Many hours will be spent watching or repairing vehicles along the way. Plan for a long day. Some vehicles have spent well over ten hours on this trail.

Habanero Falls
Habanero Falls is located on the northwestern edge of the Chile Canyons system. You will enjoy spectacular views of the Mesilla Valley and the visibility can range over fifty miles on a clear day! After a mild start down into the Chile Canyons , you will slowly start your climb out. This is where the fun begins. The climax of the trail is seven, yes seven, consecutive waterfalls. With good clearance and solid lockers, you may be able to climb each without assistance. One of the waterfalls is featured in the WARN Chile Challange Poster!
