Hike | Tom's Thumb | Scottsdale — Arizona Hikers Guide

The trail starts ascending as soon as you walk through the visitor center. Get ready for a leg workout! The trail can get steep in some places, so make sure you wear shoes with good traction! There are lots of trail markers along the trail and signs guiding you from lookout point to lookout point to give your legs a break from the hike. Take photos of all the rock formations and open desert landscape.

The Tom’s Thumb Trail will guide you up to the giant rock formation, but also to Lookout Viewpoint Trail and the larger 11mi loop through the wilderness. Make sure to bring lots of water as this trail does not offer much shade.
