NH, Been there, grew up there . . . if you think your trails in the NE are difficult, you need to get out more . . . I'm talking road trip here! Major road trip!

They've got clay out here in the west and sw that turns into a goo that will stick to the tires, and ball up on itself so it looks like your running brown snowmen for tires and wheels! You hit this goo climbing down switch backs on shelf-roads, and the goo-covered tires slide over the gooey trail surface on there own, as gravity attempts to suck your rig over the edge of the shelf-road. The worst part is cleaning your rig, the stuff takes months to get completely off the rig.

They've got trails out here where you have to winch over a waterfall, or up a verticle canyon wall.

They've got trails that require a wrangler to run at least 35" tires to allow sufficient differential clearance and/or breakover angle to clear the rocky trail obstacles to climb the forest covered mountain trail to get to the 13,000-plus alpine elevations!

They've got sand dunes to jump, rivers to cross, huge monoliths to crawl . . . truly, a four wheeler's paradise!

We have the same rules, stay on the trail, etc. I think Wyoming and Oklahoma are the few place where you can still go off trail in designated areas.
