Take a scenic drive with Private Jeep Excursions on the iconic Four Peaks off-road trail in the Tonto National Forest. The trail offers pristine views of the Mazatzal Mountains and Roosevelt Lake all while leading us through a very diverse desert landscape.

About The Jeep Tour
Take a private scenic drive up to the top of the iconic Four Peaks mountain range. Enjoy unhindered views of the valley below, beautiful Roosevelt Lake with a backdrop of the Salome Wilderness beyond. During this daytime trip we will travel up the front side of the mountain range. Stop and explore the summit vista points, eat lunch at one of the camp sites overlooking Roosevelt Lake. We will then travel down the back side of the mountain to view Roosevelt Lake up-close. We will travel over the Roosevelt Bridge and go to the bridge and dam vista points. We will finally enjoy the "dam" bathroom! There will be an opportunity if you like, to travel along some of the historic Apache Trail. There may be an opportunity to swim in the Upper Salt River surrounded by the beautiful cliff walls. We will then travel back on-road home through Tonto Basin community. You may choose to stop and enjoy a meal at one of the local family owned diners in town.

Bathrooms - There are bathrooms available during this trip once we reach Roosevelt Dam. However, you should bring TP, baby wipes, and hand sanitizer in case you need to make like a bear.
