Four peaks is located just north of Fort McDowell Casino on highway 87. You go past the casino about 10 or 15 miles. There is a sign saying 4 peaks, which is a right hand turn off 87 going north. You will go about 200 feet on asphalt, then it turns into a dirt road. Go about 1 mile, and you will see a parking lot for trailers.
From the parking lot, you can go up to 4 peaks on the dirt road, about 26 miles each way.
Or you can go south out of the parking lot into a dirt area for about 3 miles, then a sandy wash for about 10 miles.
The GPS location of the parking lot is 33 40 11.53N, 111 29 44.84W.
I don't have a plate on mine or my wife's quad, never had any trouble with rangers, ever. Pictures are of the dirt trail, sandy wash area, and the parking lot.
The top of 4 peaks is about 20°F to 30°F cooler then the base. My guess is about a 3000 foot climb up to the peak from the parking lot.
