This picture is from my first Jeep trip...First stop after I got off the paved road (87) was to put the
top down. It was a beautiful morning in the 70s. Four
Peaks is upper left....
A rock formation on the way up...
I have a lot of shots of the Jeep looking good. The road
up was not bad at all with only about 7 miles that required
4 wheel drive. A lot of these roads are maintained by the forestry
department in case of fires...
Four Peaks from the north side and the Jeep of course.
This was the only sign along the way. It was at the
very crest. I was here by a little after 10:00 am. The rest was down hill to the lake.
Theodore Roosevelt Lake (in the distance) the road ahead and the
road behind.
The road down the other side was very well maintained
and pretty smooth. I pretty much just coasted down to
Highway 188.
Here's a map of the route (blue line). Four Peaks (el.
7657 ft.) is northeast of Apache Junction, which is east of
Phoenix. I took route 88 back which is mostly a dirt road
and the family and I have driven it before.
It was a hot
ride home so I think I will plan other trips when the
weather is cooler.
OLD stuff....
Here's me on top of South Mountain Park
Here's my office on the loft
