Jeep off-roaders looking for a new challenge, this one's for you. Jeep is adding six new trails to its Badge of Honor program. The new trails include two in Kansas, two in Pennsylvania, one in Arkansas and one in Missouri:
- Quartz Canyon: Hot Springs Off-road Park, Arkansas
- Barney Rubble Blue Trail #49: Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area, Pennsylvania
- Fern Ridge Trail #121: Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area, Pennsylvania
- C-2 Trail #141: Kansas Rocks Recreation Park, Kansas
- Rattlesnake Alley Trail #149: Kansas Rocks Recreation Park, Kansas
- Cougar Crossing: Southern Missouri Off-road Ranch, Missouri
With the two new additions there are now 68 trails in Jeep's Badge of Honor program which is an online community that celebrates and rewards those who embrace the off-road life.
Using the Jeep Badge of Honor app, customers can discover trail highlights, difficulty ratings and user photos, then earn hard badges to display on their Jeep brand 4x4 vehicles.
The Badge of Honor trails are also included in the new available Jeep Adventure Guides, a built-in off-road adventure trail guide system featuring Trails Offroad, a leader in off-road trail guides and maps. The Jeep Adventure Guides are downloaded into the Uconnect 5 Nav system in the new 2024 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator. Displayed on a 12.3-inch high-resolution screen, they deliver detailed guides and maps for more than 200 off-road destinations that span coast to coast. The 68 Jeep Badge of Honor trails include the Rubicon Trail in California, Hell’s Revenge in Utah and Jericho Mountain in New Hampshire.

Adventurers can also upgrade to a $39.99 premium subscription for a full catalog of 3,000-plus trail guides that span a variety of difficulty levels and terrains. Jeep says it boasts an unmatched level of information and quality, including:
- All trails rated by experts based on real-world evaluation
- Consistent difficulty rating
- Route description
- Key waypoints for turns, obstacles and points of interest
Jeep Brand says this new partnership gives its customers detailed information about the best off-road adventures across the United States and Canada, with over-the-air updates available. Customers will also be able to navigate directly to the trailhead of their chosen off-road adventure and to keep track of their progress by following integrated trail route maps. The automaker says the unrivaled in-vehicle integration further cements the Jeep brand’s off-road leadership.
There's also an enhancement to the Jeep Adventure Guides since debuting on the '24 Wrangler. A new Follow Mode displaying pop-ups for waypoints, such as intersection directions, obstacles or point of interests, as the driver approaches the waypoint on the trail. Also, for trails that can be traversed both directions, customers will be able to navigate to the end of the trail in addition to the start of the trail.
