Hiking & Biking Trails
Four Peaks
A Fountain Hills landmark visible from much of the Valley. The peaks rise from 1,600 to 7,657 feet and are the highest peaks in the Valley. Four Peaks is located on the far side of Tonto Basin and Roosevelt Lake. Known for its amethyst mine which has produced some of the worlds finest jewels. Four Peaks Mine is located just below the cleft of the two southern most peaks. Discovered in the 1700's by the Spanish. The mine has produced gems found in the crown jewels of several European countries. Today the mine is owned by a local company and is off-limits to hikers. The Four Peaks area offers many scenic trails that vary in difficulty. The area is open to hiking, biking and trail rides.
Superstition Mountains
Known as the home of the "Lost Dutchman Mine" where miner Jacob Waltz found his pot of gold in 1880 or so the story goes! For years curiosity seekers have tried to find the mine in the Supersitions. The legend is still being told and is an outstanding
story for the hiker who is there to glimpse the beauty of the area. Located in the Sonoran Desert, hikers can enjoy the majestic saquaro cactus and exquisite ocotillo. Abundant with trails, the Superstition Mountain area allows the hiker many miles of hiking experience and winter camping opportunities.
The Mazatzals
In the north end of the Mazatzal Range the area is predominantly of rough desert mountains, and narrow vertical-walled canyons. The area serves many levels of hikers and it is wise to research maps and levels of hiking expertise before starting out on a trail. Further west below the brush-covered foothills, is the Verde River, which flows through the Sonoran Desert. Designated by Congress in 1984 as Arizona's only Wild & Scenic River, elevations range from 1,600 feet along the Verde River to 7,903 feet on Mazatzal Peak.
