The Rolls OHV Permit Zone
The Rolls OHV Permit Zone motorized use area on the Mesa Ranger District.
Located in the Mesa Ranger District about one hour from Phoenix, this 24,000 acre area has approximately 150 miles of motorized routes that vary in width and challenge. A highlight of this area is Four Peaks Road which travels to the saddle of Four Peaks in the Mazatzal mountain range and over to State Highway 188 at Roosevelt Lake. A section of the Great Western Trail lies just on the northern boundary of The Rolls area. Access points to The Rolls area includes four staging areas: Four Peaks, Pobrecito, Cottonwood and Palo Fierro. Please remember to stay on the routes. Driving off-road is prohibited on the Tonto National Forest.
Four Peaks Road and the Great Western Trail lie outside the boundaries of The Rolls OHV Permit Zone; a Tonto NF OHV Permit is not required for motorized use on these two routes.
Motorized use requires a Tonto NF OHV Permit. See the OHV Permit FAQ for details about when a motorized use permit is needed. Be sure you’ve reviewed the Rules and Regulations of the OHV areas and please recreate responsibly!
