Edward's Park, the Desolate, Lonely Trail at the TOP of Four Peaks.

Edward’s Park, FR 422, is a rocky, aggressive, out-and-back trail in Tonto National Forest. It begins at an intersection with Four Peaks, FR 143, northwest of Four Peaks Pass. Unlike the easy drive to the top of Four Peaks, this trail immediately gets difficult with loose rock, washouts, steep hill climbs, descents, and off-camber tracks. The loop at the north end is steep, off-camber, and deteriorated.
Edward’s Park has seasonal stream crossings and offers views of Bull Mountain and Edward’s Peak, among others. Occasionally, there's a peek of Roosevelt Lake and the surrounding Tonto Basin to the east.
The road is also a segment of the Arizona Trail, a hiking trail covering over 800 miles from the Mexican border north to the Utah state line. Be kind to any hikers you see. They have a long way to go.
There are multiple dispersed campsites on this trail. Most will accommodate a few vehicles and have rock fire rings. These are great sites, well off of the beaten path, with pine trees providing a small slice of shade from the Arizona sun.
While this is not a “rock crawling” trail, it is aggressive. A lift and good off-road tires are recommended.

Great video, we are headed up there Saturday 12/2. Hoping it is not too muddy after the rains that came through last night...

I enjoyed that trail, except for getting stuck, but that was my own fault. Have a great trail run.

Good thing you have a winch! I don't have one on my Cherokee, but I have traction boards at least. Thanks!

[@Trail89Adventures]

Yeah probably could have gotten out without but would have been digging and swimming in the mud. Definitely got me out of a jam!

[@man-on-the-brink]

I'm not buyin' it; that was no mistake. You were looking for an excuse to use the winch! Keep up the great videos!

[@Trail89Adventures]

That’s funny….I actually hate mud….well cleaning it off anyway. Thanks. Just make the videos for fun. Glad you enjoy. Thanks for watching.

Wait. Is there still snow on Four Peaks? That trail looks cool. Im going to have to check it out at some point. As always. Good videos man.

[@Trail89Adventures]

Thanks. I actually ran this trail on April 1st. Takes a while to get to edit these things. I am backed up on editing….lol.

[@Trucker316]

Are you lifted, or still at stock height?

[@Trail89Adventures]

Stock Rubicon lift and stock 33” tires.

[@Trucker316]

@@Trail89Adventures thanks for responding. I was wondering as I'm on a 2.5" lift on 33's, and am learning the capabilities of my rig and the trails I can run. Also, I enjoy your videos!

[@Trail89Adventures]

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy. It is amazing what these Jeeps can do even without any modifications. I am still learning everyday!
