Trail Overview

This is a fun and quick trail with great views, perfect for a relaxing trail ride. The northern half of this trail brings you up onto a fin with spectacular views of both the Sycamore area and the 4 Peaks Wilderness, giving it its name. There are several steep climbs/descents on this half of the trail, which eventually bring you back down into the washes on the southern side after a tight switchback. Once in the washes, the trail can get relatively tight with the overgrowth. Once through that, it opens up into the greater Sycamore Creek area, with roughly 110 miles of trails to explore.

Coming from the north side, there is a relatively steep incline with an optional rutted out off-camber line. There are a couple of washed-out areas on the trail that will need to be crossed. The trail can get very tight; not recommended for anything longer than a 4-door Jeep.
