I did a search and didn't find a similar thread, if there is one, please just point me to it.

What is your list of "bucket list" trails (individual, areas, or parks) that you want to do. Having only been Jeeping for a few years, I am just starting to build my list and am looking for help on expanding. Unfortunately, l live very far from most (but not all) of my bucket list.

My list:
-Moab (area) - completed this past April, but I want to go back. Mostly for trails and scenery.
-Dusy-Ershim - While I don't think it would be the most technical, the length and scenery appeal to me. Three lakes above 10K ft. Would most likely try to work in some surrounding trails if I drive 3 days to get there! (coyote trail, mirror lake, red lake, etc...).
-Rubicon Trail - History and the scenery
-Colorado - I still need to do some research in order to put a good trip together, but most likely will base out of Ouray. Mostly due to scenery, but I would be looking for some tech stuff thrown in there.
-Johnson Valley - hoping for non-stop technical, but right now I am just basing on hearsay, I haven't done any research.
-Kentucky Adventure Trail - overlanding adventure
-SMORR - Park in Missouri that I looks like it would be good.
-Harlan KY - non-stop tech in the east.
-Green Acres-Clayton, OK - non-stop big rocks.


I know there are a lot of areas/trails out there that I have not heard about (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, North West, North East, etc....) that I should have on my list, let's hear 'em.

I’m with you, I keep a list of places I’d like to visit and explore. I’ve got a lot of the same places on my list. I’d love to wheel in Arizona one day. Chris and @starkey480 seem to have no shortage of good wheeling out there.

Is there a particular area of Arizona that would be worth adding to the list?

Mine initially matched yours for the most part down to JV and SMORR, not familiar with the others.

I've luckily been able to do a lot of the Moab ones and did the Rubicon this year.

I'd add Fordyce to your list and anything else in the Big Bear area.

Then for me, I'd like to acquire all the badges from the Badge of Honor trails. Many aren't that difficult but it gets me to go see things I'd never plan to without some reason.

Oh and Texas has good trails too. Barnwell and Bridgeport are mostly red clay and mud, Hidden Falls is mild but fun, but further west is Mason, also called the “Moab of Texas” with K2 (katemcy rocks) and wolf caves, and Stillwaters ranch - haven’t been to those yet but will soon.
 
If you ever make it to Clayton might as well go hit Hot Springs offroad park. It used to be called Superlift offroad park. I've been to Clayton a few times.

Yeah, I make it to Hot Springs a few times a year. I was just there in August and will be back there in Oct. Hot Springs and Hawk Pride in Alabama are kind of the go to trails for me from Memphis.

Reminds me, come join us at Hot Springs on Oct 23 if you can:

My uncle-in-law is going to wheel with us in Hot Springs this Oct. He’s from texas and has wheeled a lot there. I know he has mentioned Wolf Caves. He’ll be able to give you some good feed back on Texas trails.

SMORR: https://smorr.net/

My local off road park. Pretty cool place. About 40 mins east of Springfield MO.
