The iconic Four Peaks trail in the Tonto National Forest is just a stone's throw from Phoenix, Arizona. The trail offers pristine views of the Mazatzal Mountains and Lake Roosevelt all while leading you through a very diverse desert landscape. The Four Peaks area is a gem for outdoor enthusiasts because it offers an astonishing array of activities and history.
The trail is a nice easy offroad drive with several scenic vistas and campsites along the route. The area is very popular with shooters. There are numerous designated sites early where you can legally shoot approved targets. Please be responsible and remove all your target debris and discharged shells.
The name Four Peaks is in reference to the four prominent peaks of a ridge forming the massif's summit. The northernmost peak and the only named one is Brown's Peak, the tallest of the four at 7,659 feet. It is the highest point in Maricopa County. The connecting trail is at waypoint 9.
