Trail Runs & Off-Roading

Trail rides are the heart of the Bronco Bash. With trails ranging from beginner-friendly dirt roads to technical rock-crawling routes, there’s something for everyone.

Popular Trails:
  • Gold Mountain (3N69) – Challenging rocky terrain
  • Holcomb Creek – Technical and scenic
  • Delamar Mountain Loop – Moderate and picturesque
  • Balky Horse Canyon & Burns Canyon – Easier routes with great views

All trail runs are volunteer-led or self-organized, so plan accordingly. Be ready with a radio, trail map, and a spirit of teamwork.

  • Always travel in groups
  • Carry recovery gear (tow straps, jack, tools)
