Nice moderate hike with never ending scenery. Surrounded by breathtaking, capitvating mountains. Very super hike compared to Camleback. Super enjoyable, just keep an eye out for rattlesnakes!!

By husband and I went this morning and it was amazing. I was a bit concerned about snakes but we did not see any! We went all the way up. We are 69/62 and were able to keep up with younger hikers. I really wish we had hiking poles, especially on the way back. Good shoes are must, sunscreen and hat. There is no shade on a trail. Bring extra water. Beautiful hike, definite would do it again.

We went for a beautiful hike and the views were amazing. Although the wind was blowing early, the experience was a little chilling. We were able to complete the loop in approximately four hours and there were very few hikers on the trail. I would definitely recommend this hike if you are in the area and enjoy the desert outdoors.

Great hike! Be aware no water available at trailhead (although they have the nicest composting toilets I have ever seen). Also, there is a significant uphill climb and then it levels off a bit. We went on to the Lookout which was nice because most people turn around at the thumb. Much less crowded and a GREAT view. Drawbacks: despite multiple signs instructing dog owners to pick up poop (“there is no poop fairy”) there was a significant amount of dog poop on the trail, some of it bagged (I don’t get it….)

Good workout with nice views at the top. Can see all the way to downtown Phoenix on a clear day. One of my favorite hikes in the area.

Tom’s Thumb is slightly challenging trail mostly because the elevation gain during the first mile or so. This was our second time hiking Tom’s Thumb. This time we were met with something unexpected. ICE!!!!!!! The higher parts of the trail that remained in the shade were complete ice!!!!!! The other hikers seemed as surprised as we were. We took our time, enjoyed the views and managed to stay on our feet. This is a popular trail. Even midday during the week it was at least moderately busy. The views on the way up and especially at the top make this trail worth it.

50’s adult’s definitely used hiking poles. Bring plenty of water , we brought a backpack. We arrived around 7;15 and parking was fine. Took us about 1 1/2 hours there and an hour back. There are some athletes running the trail. Nice park worker there that took our picture.

Great hike. A little challenging so wear your hiking shoes and bring you hiking poles but it was well worth it. You will not be disappointed.

What an adventure. Jack the guide at the begining of the trail gave us great information about the elevation and type of shoes needed. There are two trails one easy and one with elevation. Both are beautiful and Jack can give you information on which one is right for you.

Is the Feldspar Loop easy enough for a three year old? Is it stroller friendly?
Rédigé le 10 avril 2023
The loop trail is an easy walk for a healthy adult. It's wide, undulates, and is open. It would also be fine for a 3 year old; but a stroller would probably have to be one that is meant for trails since there are some rocks, loose gravel, and the slight undulations of the trail.

Is there a fee to be get in?
Is this something my 10y/o could do? We are going in March.
Approximately how long does it take?
Thanks so much!
Rédigé le 31 décembre 2020
No fee for park entrance. Hike is moderate till the last half mile to get to Tom’s Thumb but plenty of large boulders to sit & rest. Takes 2-3 hours to climb depending on your pace. Suggest you start early to avoid the mid-day heat. Bring plenty of drinking water

Hey,
Looking to hike this in mid-December. Is it possible to climb in the evening/night even after sunset? is that worth it?
Thanks!

You wouldn’t see much, but a lot of creatures could see you

I'm wondering if this is ok to hike alone? (seems from comments that there is enough others hiking at this time of year?) I'll be there while husband is at a conference. Thx

One of the best hikes in the Scottsdale area , it’s beautiful. And lots of helpful folks on the trail should you need assistance.

What is the difference between Tom's Thumb Trail and Tom's Thumb South besides the length?
Rédigé le 21 janvier 2019
We hike about 300 miles annually. The main trail is very steep and slippery with gravel in several portions...deffinatly do not recommend strollers. We did not do the South trail but it is advertized as even more difficult plus longer.
Rédigé le 22 janvier 2019
It is pretty steep. If they are young I would stick to a trail at Browns Ranch, which is nearby, or Pinnacle Peak.

Hi- Just wondering how long of a hike it is and if the signs are really easy to follow? I head there next week.

There are a lot of connector trails in McDowell Mt. Park, consider a single-page map of trail system--don't just rely on the signs. The trail length DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU START. It can be 12 miles RT from Gateway parking lot (i.e."west" side ) or about 3-mile one-way noted by someone (I think this is from the recently opened Tom's Thumb trailhead, TTH). TTH is not as scenic as starting from the Gateway trailhead, but better choice if you are unsure of your ability or want to keep it short. There used to be free maps at the Gateway trailhead, hopefully they are still there. The hike is easy until the last 2 miles where most of the elevation gain occurs, but not much. A big plus by starting at the Gateway is that you cross a mini riparian area where spring water flows 24/7--supercool spot, but watch out for the snakes! We usually do Gateway to Tom's Thumb and back and usually slow jog on the way down. If interested, check HikeAZ website and search for "Tom's Thumb Loop off Windgate Pass Trail, AZ." Unfortunately, the McDowell Sonoran preserve website doesn't show this route anymore for some reason and isn't very helpful.

Where is it in relation to Phoenix. Will be staying in Phoenix, Villa Mirage in October and would like to hike this trail.
Rédigé le 17 juin 2016
Audrey - The trail is located in north east Phoenix/ Scottsdale. It is approx 20 minutes from the Westin Kierland. Google Maps will take your there - it is an awkward drive: you'll travel through residential neighborhoods and down a semi-paved road where, out of no where, there's a lovely new trail head building with bathroom and parking. (& trail maps)
Enjoy!
