Introduction

The start/finish for the event is at the Four Peaks OHV parking lot, about a mile east AZ87 on FS143 (just before milepost 204). The course itself is across the road to the north of the parking area. The terrain includes some drainages among low-rolling hills. It also winds through a complex network of granite rock formations. The site is made more interesting with views of nearby Four Peaks and Weaver's Needle. We hope you'll consider joining us for another day of navigation fun in the Phoenix area.
