The Four Peaks Wilderness , established in the year 1984 , covers 60,740 acres of land . It is home to a diverse variety of plants and animals due to the quick change of elevation in the range . Brown 's Trail , found in the Four Peaks Wilderness , is used to reach the tallest peak and is home to black bears , ring-tailed cats , skunks , and coyotes . The Four Peaks Wilderness contains a section of the Arizona Trail , which is considered one of the most difficult passages , as it is rarely ever kempt . On April 27th , 1996 , a party of two campers left a campfire unattended near Lone Pine Saddle . This caused the Lone Fire which burned over 61,000 acres and lasted 11 days .
