February 11, 2009

  Wow!  What a uniquely rare view to catch on a beautiful day in the desert of Mesa, Arizona.  This mountain range, called Four Peaks, is a US Forest Service Wilderness Area which is contained within the Tonto National Forest.  This wilderness area encompasses over 60,000 acres.   Elevations climb from 1,900 feet near Apache Lake to 7,600 feet at Brown’s Peak. There is a network of approximately 40 miles of Trail Systems here.  To access most of the Trailheads, a 4WD or high-clearance vehicles are recommended.  

 To visit an area within the Tonto National Forest, you need to either pick up a Pass at one of Ranger locations or order one online.  Recreation Opportunity Guides are available at the Mesa Ranger Station located at 5140 E. Ingram Street in Mesa, Arizona.
