Four Peaks 2.0

Four Peaks is a popular Jeep trail that traverses the Mazatzal Mountains north of Four Peaks Wilderness.  It offers spectacular views of Roosevelt Lake as well as the lower Salt River Lakes and the Mogollon Rim.

Four Peaks is in a wilderness area, so cannot be driven to, but is very visible from this trail.  There are roads both north and south from the high ridge in the center of the trail.  These roads offer somewhat better views than you get from staying on the main road.  Both are dead ends.

Can be driven either way, but is more scenic from west to east.  Begin north of Mesa on SR 87 and end northwest of Globe on SR 188.  The western slope is somewhat washed and rutted and requires that your vehicle have reasonable clearance, but certainly not 4WD.  The eastern slope is well maintained.

From SR 87 to SR 188 is 25 miles.  Plan on a full day because of the additional travel time to get there and return.
