Trail Overview
8 Gauge is a rocky trail that can be accessed from either Fence Road or PeeWee Crossing (Jeep Badge of Honor Trail). It is non-directional and can be run from either direction. There is a section with small rock obstacles. If you come from Fence Road, the trail will come to a split where you can go left and be led to the obstacle on a very hard line. If you go right, you will continue down a steep grade to PeeWee Crossing. This trail could be slipperily depending on recent rainfall. The line leading you to PeeWee Crossing is the easier of the two lines.
