It's not hard at all.Mostly like a forest road with a few bumpy spots.Would be a perfect ride for a Rhino.

Four Peaks Road to Rooselvelt Lake
Route: From Mesa, take SR 87 to Four Peaks Rd. (FR 143). Remain on FR 143 to SR 188, go north on 188 to SR 87, turn south and return to the Valley.
Drive Time: FR 143; 3 to 4 hrs, total 6 hrs.
Scenery: Very scenic, although, in 1996, the Lone Fire burned thousands of acres on and around the peaks.
Caution: 4X4 is required on FR 143 after the Ballentine Trail. Erosion has damaged area trails, use them with great caution. Acquire latest trail information.
Season: Year-round, but closed during heavy snows.

Warning: One of the highest concentrations of black bears in Arizona. Campers, hikers and picnickers take appropriate precautions with food storage.

Its a easy fire road ride. just be smart on the back side going down. Our friend rolled a Rhino off the road and went flipping down the mountainside. I will post a little Video from it. Only thing that broke was a Tail lamp cracked,lol. Lucky Mutha.
