Gerald Wash

The Tonto National Forest offers users the chance to experience desert four wheeling without having to travel too far outside the Phoenix valley. Gerald Wash trail is a remote area outside the Roosevelt Lake Recreation region. The trail winds up and above the region offering panoramic views of the surrounding desert. This trail is a great addition to other trails in the area, such as, Apache Trail and Two Bar Ridge. The trail offers a mild challenge for stock type vehicles while providing a relaxing scenic drive through the desert. You can choose to explore the local trails and end with a dip in nearby Roosevelt Lake. Be sure to pick up a Tonto Pass or a NPS America the Beautiful Pass if you plan on visiting any of the lakes recreation sites.
