Uphill Both Ways
Earn your Jeep Badge of Honor at Hawk Pride.
0.3 miles and you'll earn every inch.
Uphill Both Ways gets technical almost as soon as you drop in, and it stays that way to the end.
Expect a V-notch, rock ledges, off-camber climbs, tight trees and rocks big enough to max out your suspension. Short as it is, it’s one of the toughest Badge of Honor runs in the Southeast.
