- This is a scenic 28 mile trail run that starts at the Beeline Highway goes up and over the saddle of Four Peaks and back down the other side to State Rt 188. This trail has incredible views and gives you a great opportunity to explore the wonders of Arizona.
I love this trail. Have not been back up here since the early 1990s. A fire on top 4 Peaks took out a lot of the pine forest up there in +/- the mid 1990s. My ASU roommate, me and 2 other buddies took his stock street VW Beetle up this trail in winter 1977 to the saddle. 4 guys with a case of beer in the Vdub. Then we hooked it S to the Peaks hiking trail and played in the snow after walking along the trail toward the North-most peak. Volksie made it back down to the Beeline. The only damage was one of the 2 chrome muffler pipes below the rear bumper broke off on a rock. Fun trail! Beauteous scenery! Spectacular views of the rim, Roosevelt lake and the Tonto forest! AZ rocks!
Sounds like an amazing story! The trail is still pretty mild but a VW Beetle may have a few issues…HaHa. Definitely beautiful up there. You should checkout the other video I posted called Edward’s Park. It runs along the ridge to the north from the top of Four Peaks.
Thanks for watching!
The music is so relaxing. Very beautiful trail. I am going to try this trail soon. I love your channel, I subscribed. 🏜️🌵🌺
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Just did that 2 days ago.. 11/19/23 Great Road for beginners
Just a great trail. Not difficult but very scenic. I recently was at the top during sunset. It was awesome.
Did you air down at all?
@@frankieloya7909 Yes
Just finished this trail, started at 830pm and finished at 1040pm, definitely a nice ride at night
Haven’t done it at night. I would imagine it would be a cool night run.
I love your channel!! Thank you for posting all of these trails! I think your Wrangler is stock - which gives me confidence in taking my stock Mojave on these trails. Keep up the amazing work!
Also, did you air down for this trail?
Hey thanks Eric for the comments. Appreciate that.
My Jeep is a stock Rubicon. These things are so capable stock.
Four Peaks is a great easy trail. Your Mojave is more than capable to run that or really anything that you have seen me run.
As for airing down, many people do but I rarely ever do. It does soften the ride and gives you more traction but for the trails I run, I am not in a race and generally go slower to take in the scenery.
This will be one of my first routes once I get my new '22 Trailhawk ready. Thanks!
Awesome. It is a fun trail. I love going up there. Have fun. Thanks for watching.
We did the Four Peaks Trail in April, but in the opposite direction. Probably the first to do so in a Cybertruck. Took some videos, too, but they're not as good as yours. Thanks.
Cool! How did the Cybertruck do on the trail? Haven’t ridden in one but have seen a few. They are bigger than I thought. Thanks for watching.
@@Trail89Adventures It handled the trail well. I also did the Outlaw trail in Sedona. That was a more challenging trail, but nothing the truck couldn't handle.
@@MsAjax409 That's great! Yes, Outlaw is a bit more challenging than Four Peaks. Congrats on the truck. Enjoy the trails!
I cant wait for this one, I know it will be easier then Bulldog but the views will be awesome! I'm excited LOL
Yeah, it is a great trail run for sure. Not technical but a nice ride and scenery.
@@Trail89Adventures for sure... I have to pack snacks this time lol
Any opportunity’s for disperses camping along that route? Very scenic, enjoyed the video👍
Tons of great spots. Some really nice ones on the backside overlooking Roosevelt Lake.
Would love to go on some trails. I live in the area
What kind of trails do you like and what vehicle?
Thanks for the video of the trail. This gives me a good idea of what to expect. The trail itself looks pretty flat. Did you air down at all?
This is actually an uphill climb. It is a fairly graded road with some rough / rocky areas the further you go up. I didn’t air down but many people do to soften the ride a bit. Beautiful scenery too.
Looks like The Bush fire really did a number on the trees up there.
Yes it did. Actually the area right around the Beeline Highway got hit really hard. The Rolls OHV area and Lower Sycamore are pretty bad unfortunately.
What's the turn off for the trail as your heading north on the 87? In your description you mention you come out the 188 afterwards
The turn off from 87 is called Cline Cabin Road on google maps.
Coordinates 33.6782001, -111.5026394
This will take you up and over Four Peaks down to RT188 on the other side. I hear it is icy up at the top right now.
You said there were subarus. how far would you have to drive in to find a decent camping spot??? i have a small 4 cyclidr suv, that has decent clearance. I really want to camp there but i dont want to go far enough to need 4x4.
There are some camp spots just a couple miles into the trail. Thanks for watching!
I like to camp in my back yard in Phoenix. The trail is not too far from my kitchen, and the bedroom provides good shelter. Plus, no lions, tigers, and bears, oh my.
Thanks for sharing, just recently bought a 2022 Gladiator Mojave, and this looks like a good trail to try out for our 1st time. Any advice? TIA
Congratulations on the Gladiator Mojave. Awesome vehicle. This is a real nice trail. You will have no issues. Make sure you stop at the very top. There is a lookout and parking area. Sharp right turn after the cattle guard at the top.
@@Trail89Adventures Thank you! also how many hours would you say it is? I live in San Tan Valley, So not sure if its going to be an all day event. lol
@@MetroCollectablesandvlogs I would say four hours total. Many people go to the top then come back down. If you go up then go down the back an come out by Roosevelt Lake it is shorter miles but you have to loop back on the trail or take the main roads and that will add additional time.
@@Trail89Adventures ok, so go up then go down towards Roosevelt lake way? sorry for all the questions.lol
@@MetroCollectablesandvlogs just depends how long you ant to be out for. Four hours is how long I took to do it. I stop and take pictures and stuff and not in a race. Others have done it faster. If you get to the top and had enough, go back down the front. If you are up for more go down the backside. You just have to get back from the backside and there isn’t a very direct route. Just take that into consideration. I have done it both ways.
Is the trail marked so you do not take wrong turn?
The trail I believe is marked as FR143. There are a few side trails that branch off but for the most part it is easy to navigate. The Trailsoffroad website can give you a specific route and you can download a GPX track to navigate you through.
Where the parking lot? I've camped up there multiple times.
What parking lot are you asking about? Trailhead, top of the mountain?
Hello, new sub here, I’ve seen maybe three of your vids so far. I like your narration, local knowledge, and general info about the trails. Can I please ask that you ditch the music. IMHO. It’s not needed. The sound of the engine and crunch of the gravel under your tires is sufficient. The “music” takes away from the quality of your vids and quite frankly it’s irritating. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it. The music vs non music is tough decision sometimes but I hear what you are saying.
