Perhaps the "coolest" trail in the entire state of West Virginia. The Cooler gets its name from a natural vent that blows cold air out into the open. Its blast is potent enough to call it the most powerful air conditioner you have ever witnessed. The vent is right where the fun begins on the trail, just before you tackle obstacle after obstacle to reach the top.
Bearwallow is a network of trails in the Hatfield-McCoy trail system in West Virginia. Catering to full-size vehicles, it's no wonder it is part of the Jeep Badge of Honor list of trails. The Green Outer Loop includes five different trails and offers an excellent opportunity to test your 4x4 skills through a rollercoaster landscape of hill climbs and descents. If you are looking for more, the Green Outer Loop connects to a handful of the toughest offroad trails in the state. It's a perfect route for beginners and those looking for their Badges of Honor.
Trails 23 and 25 are a nice reprieve and a hideaway from other areas of Bearwallow. They allow you to escape narrow roads and feel secluded amongst the trees and imposing rock structures while being lower on the mountain. As a bonus, these trails provide a glimpse into how auger mining takes place.
Deadfall in Bearwallow is an aptly named most difficult double trail. The trail wraps around and through a gully with dead and fallen timber overhead, down on the ground, and all around you. If you enjoy driving under timber that once stood tall, this is your kind of trail. The short but steep loose hill climb will surely give you a moment to remember!
