Box Canyon
This scenic trip explores the canyons around Picacho Peak and Box Canyon and can be traveled in stock 4WD vehicles with sufficient ground clearance. Of historical significance, Box Canyon is where the Butterfield Trail left the Rio Grande valley headed west for California. After a short drive from the fairgrounds, you will enter Box Canyon and head downstream, negotiating the dry arroyo bottom. At the east end of the trail you can try your luck on Lee’s Rock but be careful, people have ended on their tops doing so. Once those crazy enough to try Lee’s Rock are through playing, you will head back up the canyon to an old Civilian Conservation Corps flood retention dam. There are lots of areas to test your ability, all with bypasses. The trail continues into the hills where you will experience some rocky and slightly off-camber sections. The trail finishes off near some sandy bluffs that you can attempt to climb if you choose.

Pimento Pass Overlook
This is a new trail that starts on the east side of the Chile Canyons, winds around and climbs to the top of the mountain. This is one of the most scenic runs with beautiful views of Las Cruces and a birds-eye view of the Chile Canyons. 4WD will be needed, but all stock vehicles should do fine.

The Pasado Trail
This is a fun canyon for the beginner four wheeler. It starts in the Box Canyon area and ends by the exit of Tabasco Twister. It is suitable for most stock 4WD vehicles.

Coyote Canyon
This trail is located in Coyote Canyon, North of Tularosa, NM. This trail was built and maintained by our good friends at Desert Mountain Four Wheel Drive Club. It can be either an Easy or possibly a Moderate, depending on driver / weather / etc.

Rustlers' Fire Trail/White Gap Pass
This trail is located in the Sierra de las Uvas, northwest of Las Cruces. It is a scenic, but rocky, trail that can be negotiated in stock 4wd vehicles with sufficient ground clearance; although, a couple of the rocky slopes can be challenging. The trail passes through a narrow canyon and then climbs onto the top of a high mesa. It ends at the northeast end of the mesa, overlooking the village of Hatch and the Rincon Valley. The trail will be reached by following a paved road for a distance of about 20+ miles, then continuing on a rough, rocky dirt track. A BLM sign marks the beginning of Rustlers’ Fire Trail.
