lots of different size rock/rubble, big gaps, small gaps, some nice easy driving mixed with good technical stuff to make you think, possible different ways up the same climb, a rope/slat bridge, between to good climbs are always fun.
did see one (well a pic) of a twisted round a tree stump of about 5 foot, it went round it the at the top was a bridge going down, thats maybe very hard though.
a good track not too short, doesnt have to be circular in effect

Something that isn't a fixed course or trail works best in my opinion so there's plenty of scope to create different paths over or round obstacles.
With a bit of thought I think it would be possible to make something suitable for scale and rock crawlers. You'd probably get a wider range of interest then.

You can't go wrong with some good old mud and water thrown in the mix, old style wooden bridge, and maybes a off road seesaw...
