Mazatzal Mts., Arizona
including Four Peaks
The rugged Mazatzal Mts. remain surprisingly wild considering their
proximity to the Phoenix-metro area. The best-known part of the
Mazatzals are the iconic Four Peaks, each of which stand more than
7,500 feet tall. Most of these photos were taken atop Four Peaks or in
the desert foothils beneath the peaks. Other pictures, however, were
captured in other beautifully undeveloped parts of the Mazatzals.
