2014 Chile Challenge will be held October 15-18, 2014 in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

It is an annual event run by the Las Cruces 4wd club. They offer trails from easy to extreme.

I recently read an article in the August issue of Petersens 4wheel and Off Road that the event has seen dwindling registration due to the ailing economy. Couple this with the ever increasing BLM fees and the event is in danger of being cancelled.

Just like Moab, southern New Mexico offers amazing desert scenery and some of the best rockcrawling in the country.

I rode along with a friend on this event back in 2003. He did one of the extreme trails and a Hard trail and it was a great time. Id recommend it if you can make it. I know its a year away but hopefully this will give you plenty of time to plan for it and attend. I am planning on going as long as work will allow it.

Here is the link for the event.

You can google chile challenge las cruces and a bunch of images will show up of the obstacles. Mostly the extreme trails but there are some in there of the easier stuff.
