Almost two weeks ago, on Saturday January 13th, Dave and I hiked Tom's Thumb. In all my years of living and hiking in Phoenix I had never hiked Tom's Thumb.
It is about 4 miles round trip...we didn't time it exactly, but we started around 10:15am and were finished about noonish.
At the first lookout point. This is facing northwest.
This isn't Tom's Thumb, but this looked like a thumb's up to us.
The first mile or so is somewhat steep - nothing jagged or rocky but a gradual "up." Once you get past that first mile it is still generally increasing, but is pretty flat.
Great January day for hiking!
Made it to the Thumb!
It was a great hike and a perfect day for being outside. If the trailhead wasn't such a drive I would do this one more often but it was definitely fun to try something new.
