A-11, Edwards Run, is a technical bouldery hill climb cutting from Honey Bee to the best part of No Winch Hill. The trail starts in a narrow ravine with large, tire-sized boulders and makes its way north to a large, sloped, 30' waterfall climb made up of 3 stair steps. The climb is buttered with coffin-sized limestone slabs that perfectly mask 40" holes. This trail will require large tires, traction aid devices, heavy-duty skid plates, and body armor is highly recommended.

E-105 is a straight-through trail that can be run in either direction from the creek bottom of E-103 to the western fence line and the upper cutoff of E-101. This gradual hill climb is covered in football-sized boulders with one additional obstacle of two 24'' tall tabletop-sized rocks, that you must climb both front tires over simultaneously and straddle the opening between them, as you then pull the rear tires up and over. This obstacle is about halfway up the hill.

This trail is best suited for modified vehicles with larger tires. Skid plates and rocker protection are highly recommended.

Royal Gorge is a narrow wash trail that parallels Park Road 2, passes Helicopter Landing Zone 4, and offers several entry and exit points. The main feature on the trail is a massive, bowl-shaped waterfall with multiple lines ranging from 4-6 feet tall. The only bypass around the waterfall is a loose, 4-5 stairstep climb over 10'' ledges. The northwest end of the trail offers a couple of small, single-ledge obstacles and a rutty rock garden.

Royal Gorge is considered a level 5 road per the park's rating system, but this would be if you attempt the large waterfall.

This trail is suitable for modified vehicles with larger tires and skid plates as they can bypass the most difficult obstacles, but to conquer the biggest waterfall, you will need a highly modified vehicle on 37'' tires or larger and locking differentials.

Green Horn 2 starts at Green Horn 1 and travels directly north, parallelling Feeder Creek. This trail is a somewhat narrow wash with a few sporadic rocks smaller than a football and two small ledges. The first ledge is around 12'' tall, and the second is around 16'' tall. Neither ledge is that challenging. Just a good place to stretch the suspension.

Green Horn 2 is considered a level 4 road per the park's rating system.

This trail is suitable for any high clearance, 4wd vehicle.

A-9 is a consistent rock garden hill climb from start to finish. The trail starts at A-10, where you immediately traverse basketball and beachball-sized boulders. The farther you continue up the hill, the larger the rocks become. Near the top of the climb, you encounter coffin-sized rock slabs with very few line choices. This trail is best for modified vehicles with large tires, traction aid devices, heavy-duty skid plates, and rocker protection.

A-10, known as Honey Bee, is a short loop to access the A-9 and A-11 hill climbs. The trail has a few exposed boulders that could catch a low-hanging differential and a few erosion ruts that will slightly articulate your suspension. This is an easy trail, suitable for any high clearance vehicle.

We Show is the shortest "trail" in BMRA - effectively a connector trail rounding off the northeast corner of Omega. We Show also offers a unique opportunity to add a level of difficulty in an otherwise minimal obstacle on Omega. By exiting We Show and driving south on Omega, one positions their vehicle in such a precarious position to require the use of lockers and suspend their vehicle across diagonal points. If you're looking for a brief rise in heart rate, try running We Show - and don't be fooled by its otherwise innocence of length. There is no camping found directly along this trail.

Solitario Road West is a straight-through 2.2-mile trail consisting of compacted dirt, mixed with loose rock. The trail is easily traversed by any high clearance vehicle. The trail has no notable obstacles but has been narrowed by encroaching brush in some areas. The area offers some exceptional hiking, including the Burnt Camp Trail accessible off the Solitario Road West. The hike takes you through a scenic desert landscape.

Along the drive, you will notice the nearly decomposed ruins of an automobile, reminding you that this remote area has attracted visitors for quite a while. The camping here is restricted to designated sites only. One site can be found about halfway through, just past the intersection with the abandoned McGuirk’s tanks.
